WASHINGTON – Jan. 24, 2019 – PRLog — THE MIST OF MONTMARTRE (in English and available at Amazon, Audible, iTunes) is a tragic tale of a young woman who blindly takes the enviable leap from the right bank to the left bank in Paris, leaving her friends and her artist’s garret in Montmartre to share the penthouse of a wealthy Swiss banker. However, love and money cannot buy the most basic needs of a woman caught in the shadows of her past. She must choose between what men think she was and what she has become: Gaston’s whore or Étienne’s wife. When is a woman no longer considered a prostitute, but rather a victim of the men who desire her at any price? With a mad man in pursuit, will her past be enough to stop him?
