About this book
Parisian society has plenty to say about Valentine de Vermont, a wealthy young woman whose rich furs earn her the nickname Zibeline. Her frankness and ease of manner unsettle the rules of fashionable company. Philippe Massa's romance brings her into a world of drawing rooms, theatrical circles and military rank. The opening describes a celebrated Palais-Royal restaurant during the Second Empire, where elaborate receptions and private suppers share space with high-stakes play.
General de Prerolles admires Valentine's originality but regards her fortune as an obstacle. When his sister suggests marriage, his lost family estates and attachment to his name make the proposal difficult to accept. The exchange gives the romance its tension between personal feeling, inherited standing and money.
