This unforgettable memoir of life on the French Riviera in the 1950s is a triumph of sensual writing and evocative storytelling. With his impeccable eye for detail and his flair for capturing the peculiarities of human relationships, Alan Ross paints a vivid picture of a world of wealth, glamour, and hedonism that is both exhilarating and ultimately tragic.
