generations of beautiful
women, beginning with
Maggie, an illegitimate
child who has been raised by
her grandmother in obser-
vance of Jewish traditions.
This heritage runs like a
golden thread through her
life, that of her stunning,
troubled daughter and fi-
nally, her lovely, talented
granddaughter.
Innocent Maggie Lunel
first seeks her fortune in
Paris in the 1920s, as an
artists' model. Her meet-
ing with Mistral, a
painter of genius,, is de-
stined to shadow all three
generations of Lunel
women. He uses Maggie's
love as his inspiration
and changes the course
of her life. Disillusioned,
and convinced that she
cannot rely on any man,
Maggie succeeds in
building a successful
fashion modeling agency.
M4gie does not want her
daughter Teddy, to suffer as

she had, so she shelters her
from the past and fails to
pass on to her that back-
ground which would give
her a sense of belonging.
Teddy's legacy is to indulge
in a tragic, all-consuming
love affair with Mistral.
Fauve, Mistral's daugh-
ter, is raised by Maggie.
This time, she does not want
to repeat her mistakes: so
she reveals almost all of the
past and imbues Fauve with
her Jewish heritage.
Bright, impulsive Fauve
brings new life to Mistral
and his art until she dis-
covers his past.
- As for Mistral, he is an
anti-hero of magnitude.
You will love him for his
magnetism and his over,
whelming passion for his
art while hating him for his
lack of regard for all who
cross his path.
The panorama of "Mis-
tral's Daughter" presents
the quiet life and lush
fields of Provence as it

sweeps into the hectic life
of glamour in a modeling
agency in New York. The
secondary characters in
the book are well drawn
and are of interest in
their own right.
There is a passage of time
during which France has
surrendered to Hitler. It is
terrifying to watch the
Jewish people being slowly
stripped of normal lives as
each new indignity is put
upon them.
The manner in which this
is woven into the plot makes
a fascinating story.
In the final denouement,
the threads are drawn to
gether to form a tapestry
that will satisfy the reader.

ing to 25 the number of such
