Paris 12 February 1947

In a grand townhouse at 30 Avenue Montaigne,Margaux Jourdan is helped into an ivory silk shantung jacket with a padded and flared peplum,and a pleated black wool skirt. The skirt falls, shockingly,all the way to mid-calf--such an excess of fabric for a post-ration world. A strand of pearls is placed around her neck,and she is finished off with a wide-brimmed hat and black gloves. Even after all the desecration of war,a woman's hands are still to startling to

be left unclothed.

I have not read this author yet and hope to start it soon.

What about you would you read this or take a pass?
