      About This Book

      Cornelia is to leave the sheltered atmosphere of St. Euphemia's, her Catholic boarding school and, at 17 years old, is destined to spend a year in Paris. This is the city which girls of Cornelia's circle believed was part of the White Slave Trade, such was their innocence. First, though, she must meet the redoubtable Aunt Flavia who proceeds to transform the schoolgirl into a beautifully presented young woman. Next it is school at Mademoiselle Beatrice's where Cornelia meets other English girls most of whom are just as naive as she is. Then, there is Laurent without whom Paris would never be Paris. So begins the happy initiation which will change her life forever. This delightful novel paints a vivid picture of innocent young English girls of 40 years ago thrust into the alien world of life and love in Paris.
