From the back of the cover…
“Le Divorce
follows this smart, sexy American abroad as she arrives in Paris to visit
her stepsister Roxy, a poet whose marriage into an aristocratic French
family has assured her of a coveted place in Parisian society. But all is
not as it should be in the Persand household: Roxy’s husband has just left
her for the Czechoslovakian wife of an American lawyer. Could “le divorce”
be far behind?”
