Book Review:
Judith Krantz's ''Mistral's Daughter'' is a sweeping, glamorous family saga that spans decades and continents. At its heart is Julien Mistral, a charismatic painter whose passions shape the lives of three extraordinary women. Maggy, his fiery muse in 1920s Paris, becomes immortalized in his art. Teddy, her daughter, rises to become a legendary cover girl. And Fauve, Mistral's fearless daughter, builds an empire in the high-stakes world of high fashion. From the bohemian salons of Paris with Chanel and Picasso to the explosive model wars of 1970s New York, Krantz captures the glittering, cutthroat worlds of art and fashion with insider knowledge and irresistible flair. As Cosmopolitan raves, this novel is ''luscious.'' Perfect for readers who love sweeping family dramas, strong female protagonists, and stories about ambition, love, and legacy.
