Excellent novel based on the life of a young, beautiful Creole from a wealthy family who made waves in French society during and after the American Civil War. Virginie posed for an important and scanalous painting (see cover) by Jean Singer Sargeant and most of her life is shaped by the scandal that erupted.
Also read Strapless (non-fiction) for the story of the painter and his most famous subject.
