In September 1949, twenty-year-old Jacqueline Bouvier arrives in postwar Paris to begin her junior year abroad. Beneath the glitter and rush, France is a fragile place still haunted by the Occupation. In the aftermath of World War II, Paris has become a nest of spies, suspicion, deception, and betrayal. Jacqueline is stunned to watch the rise of communism - anathema in America, but an active movement in France - never guessing she is witnessing the beginning of the political environment that will shape the rest of her life - and that of her future husband.
