They were three generations of magnificent red-haired beauties born to scandal, bred to success, bound to a single extraordinary man--Julien Mistral, the painter, the genius, the lover whose passions had seared them all. Maggy: Flamboyant mistress of  Mistral's youth, the toast of Paris in the'20s.  Her luminous flesh was immortalized in the  paintings that made Mistral legendary. Teddy: Maggy's daughter, the incomparable cover girl who lived fast and left as her legacy Mistral's dazzling love child. Fauve: Mistral's daughter, the headstrong, fearless glory girl whose one dark secret drove her to rule the world of high fashion and to risk everything in a feverish search for love. From the '20s Paris of Chanel, Colette, Picasso and Matisse to New York's sizzling new modeling agencies of the  '50s, to the model ward of the'70s,  Mistral's Daughter captures the explosive glamour of life at the top of the worlds of art and high fashion. Judith Krantz has given us a glittering international tale as spellbinding as her other celebrated bestsellers, Scruples, Princess Daisy, I'll Take  Manhattan, Till We Meet Again,  Scruples Two,  Dazzle, and Lovers.… (altro)

This was another one of my beloved books back in the days when growing up. (Well never managed to) ;)

Light read but great story. Have read this book at least twice. Later there was a mini series based on this which I loved as well. ( )

Read this book for the first time in 7th grade. Thank you Judith for teaching about the things that were "inappropriate" and not talked about in my family! HA! Cheesy, but fabulous! ( )

Judith Krantz is a Francophile. Many parts of this book read like an extended love letter to the country, the language and the lifestyle. Fortunately, Krantz has also populated her book with interesting, dynamic characters whose lives allow Krantz to depict at length Paris and the Provençal countryside. Beginning in Paris in the 1920’s and continuing until 1975 with stops in 1950s New York, World War II era Félice, and Rome in 1975, Krantz’ generational saga is lush with descriptiveness, quirky secondary characters, almost sympathetic villains, and more information about art and modeling (both for painters and for fashion magazines) than anyone would care to know. The story is so beguiling, however, that one barely notices it goes on for more than 500 pages. There’s nothing that could be cut to make a more concise novel without losing some of its charm. Though at the time this book was written, 1975 was almost the present day, because of the overt reference to the year instead of setting the book in the ambiguous “present”, the story does not feel outdated.

De beeldschone Maggy Lunel wordt als buitenechtelijk kind na het overlijden van haar moeder door haar grootmoeder opgevoed. Als die ook overlijdt verlaat Maggy de Provence en gaat naar het Parijs van de jaren twintig om haar geluk te beproeven.
Daar ontmoet ze de nog onbekende kunstschilder Julien Mistral, die haar vraagt model te staan. Mistrals schilderijen met de naakte Maggy als middelpunt trekken de aandacht van een groot publiek. Mistral krijgt naam als schilder, maar Maggy verdwijnt langzaam naar de achtergrond.

Nadat Maggy haar verbroken relatie met Mistral heeft verwerkt, begint ze een verhouding met de schatrijke Amerikaan Perry Kilkuller. Zijn vrouw stemt echter niet toe in een scheiding, ook niet als uit de relatie tussen Maggy en Perry een dochter, Teddy, wordt geboren.

Als Maggy met haar dochtertje naar New York vertrekt, verneemt ze dat Perry overleden is. Maggy en Teddy staan er nu alleen voor. In New York groeit Teddy op tot een oogverblindende schoonheid. Tijdens een fotosessie in Frankrijk voor een modetijdschrift, ontmoet ze Mistral en wordt op slag verliefd.

Uit deze stormachtige liefdesaffaire wordt Fauve, de dochter van Mistral geboren. De tragische wending die de roman dan neemt, voegt een ontroerende dimensie toe aan de band tussen Mistral en drie generaties schoonheden.

I read this years and years ago - at least I hope I did, and I'm not just remembering the mini-series. A saga spanning three generations of women associated with a famous painted (Mistral). ( )

Voor Ginette Spanier Die de deuren van Parijs voor mij opende. Met gevoelens van liefde en de herinnering aan een lange vriendschap.
Voor Steve Die al mijn liefde bezit. Zonder hem had dit boek nooit geschreven kunnen worden.

Fauve dashed through the lobby, her Stop-sign red slicker flapping around her, and managed to squeeze her way through the elevator doors a split second before they closed. Panting, she tried to furl her big striped umbrella so that it wouldn't drip on the other people who were jammed in with her, but, in the crowd, her arms were pinned to her sides.
