About this listen
A dark and opulent tale of deception, betrayal and revenge in Paris, 1909.Maud Heighton came to Lafond’s famous Académie to paint, and to flee the constraints of her small English town. It took all her courage to escape, but Paris eats money. While her fellow students enjoy the dazzling joys of the Belle Époque, Maud slips into poverty. Quietly starving, and dreading another cold Paris winter, Maud takes a job as companion to young, beautiful Sylvie Morel. But Sylvie has a secret: an addiction to opium. As Maud is drawn into the Morels’ world of elegant luxury, their secrets become hers. Before the New Year arrives, a greater deception will plunge her into the darkness that waits beneath this glittering city of light.

Starts well...
This book starts so well. Interesting characters, great setting, real struggles. And then at about the 2/3 mark, it gets ridiculously melodramatic. There is a lot of rain and running around and it reminded me of the end of Lola in the Mirror, and I don't mean that in a good way. And then it all wrapped up oh so cleverly.
Additionally, I listened to the audio-book and the narrator was (mainly) great. Herr accents were lovely, her voice was beautiful. Then only problem is she made a lot of unrelated noises with her mouth, and by the end they made me want to scream.
So this book was a bit of a bumpy ride for me.
