Here's what I wrote after reading in 1985: "Pretty good novel set in the years of WWII. The lovely and rich American Liane has left her French-loyalist husband in Paris and against her better judgement falls for a good-looking, rich, American capitalist." (

Epigraph

Dedication

To John,
Beyond words,
beyond love,
beyond anything...
d.s.

First words

The house at 2129 Wyoming Avenue, NW, stood in all its substantial splendor, its gray stone facade handsomely carved and richly ornate, embellished with a large gold crest and adorned with the French flag, billowing softly in a breeze that had come up just that afternoon.
