A frivolous masterpiece set in New York, Paris and London in the Twenties starring Princesse Angele de Villfranche, Comtesse Fervante de Contrecoeur, Pisa Barteau and Napier Knightsbridge.
A forgotten novel from 1933, Max Ewing delves into Upper Bohemia as it existed in London, Paris and New York. With a comic touch he also explores gay and interracial sub-cultures. Carl Van Vechten described it as a charming "crazy quilt."
