Resumen del Editor

A delightful, sophisticated, romantic bestseller... back in print for the first time in over 90 years!

"Lighter than air, and as bouyant and breezy as the wind. It's the icing on the cake, the silver lining on the cloud, the gilding on the lily. And if the whole world soon isn't 'Green' with envy, we don't know a bestseller when we read one." Pittsburgh Press

Catherine Douglas is a traditional, American Southerner living with her widowed father and brother in Paris in the 1930s. Her life is complicated by her charming father's affairs, the hopeless literary aspirations of her lovable brother, the intrigues of her Parisian friends, and her family's tumultuous finances.

She's set her sights, and her heart, on Gilbert Hunton, a young, wealthy, American who is looking for a wife in his same league...which she is not. Her family is broke...so Hunton proposes to another woman. Desperately in love, Catherine resorts to the potions, visions and general common sense of Madame Nesta, a wise mystic, to give her a magical edge to break the engagement and win her man...with unexpected results.

"Anne Green mixes sophistry, superstition, and simplicity in a delightful story of an impulsive young lady of Paris. She writes charmingly." Wichita Eagle

"A delightful book...the gaiety, spontaneity, wit and distinction of her writing form a combination of naivete and sophistication that is irresistible." Austin American-Statesman

"A novel that is gay, merry, witty and sophisticated. A story that is both a rollicking comedy and a charming romance. It leaves one exhilarated and delighted." The Morning Post (Camden, NJ)

"A thoroughly sophisticated observer of the follies and foibles of the modern soceity girl." Brooklyn Times-Union

"Enchanting entertainment, bright and intoxicating." Brooklyn Daily Eagle

"Green is an expert on minxes, particularly that very highly developed variety which, American by birth, puts a final gloss on its fur and polish on its claws by living in Paris. This book is really fun and it has touches of pictorial beauty." The Daily Telegraph (London)

"Green proves her inherent genius for writing fluffily brilliant contemporary fiction." Chicago Tribune

"The book has the same spontaneous gaity, unmalicious satire, and sudden revealments of wise understanding that made The Selbys a delight." Salt Lake Tribune

"Miss Green's magnificent understanding of her characters shines with a keen sophistication...wise and witty in a sparkling fashion and gaily humorous, with a slightly satiric tongue thrust in her cheek." Birmingham News

"A bewildering and entertaining story...a mixture of clairvoyance, cynicism, and common sense, with a dash of sentiment and tragedy for a good measure." Brantford Ontario Expositor

"Green's gift as a novelist is her delightful characterizations." Thomson Review
