Summary
August 1949. Jacqueline Bouvier arrives in postwar Paris to begin her junior year abroad. Socially poised but financially precarious, and all too aware of her mother’s expectations that she make a brilliant match, she has one year to herself to explore and absorb the luminous beauty of the City of Light. She strikes up a romance with a young writer who shares her love of literature and passion for culture. But France is a fragile place still haunted by the Occupation: Paris has become a nest of spies, suspicion, and betrayal. Communism is anathema in America, but an active movement in France. This political environment will shape her life-- and that of her future husband.
