Description
The Purple Shadow by Christopher H. Bowden is a novel that explores the life of Sylvie Charlot, a leading figure in Paris fashion before the war. A striking portrait of her has been discovered, but its origins remain unclear.
Colin Mallory becomes obsessed with uncovering the secrets behind the painting, which seems to hold a mysterious presence. As he delves deeper into Sylvie's past, his search takes him back to the film and theatre worlds of 1930s Paris and London, and eventually to a house in present-day Sussex.
The portrait begins to take on a life of its own as Colin uncovers the truth about Sylvie's life and the painting. A fascinating tale of art, history, and mystery unfolds, revealing the complexities of a forgotten era.
