In November 1973, a legend vanished, leaving behind only a white silk dress and the question: what happened to Astrid Bricard?
1917. Parentless, sixteen-year-old Mizza Bricard, at a party surrounded by the most scandalous women in Paris - including Coco Chanel - sees what society expects of a woman alone in the world. That night, she vows to never be gossiped about because of who has paid for her pearls, a vow that drives her through decades and couture houses until finally her name is remembered and a legend created.
1970. Astrid Bricard arrives in New York determined to change the fashion world forever. But when she meets fellow designer Hawk Jones and they embark on a passionate love affair, she finds herself cast in the role of muse, her own talent ignored. Then comes the Battle of Versailles, a competition between American and French designers which marks the making of Hawk's career, and the end of Astrid Brichard.
Present Day. Blythe Bricard is determined not to be anyone's muse - even if that means turning her back on her own designing dreams. Until she's invited to a French chateau where, upon arrival, she discovers that there may be more to her mother and grandmother's stories than she'd thought...
Set in the opulent world of luxury fashion, The Disappearance of Astrid Bricard is a heart-wrenching story of love, courage and betrayal, from the internationally bestselling author of The Paris Secret. Perfect for fans of Rachel Hore, Lucinda Riley and Tracy Rees.
