A deeply evocative love story of a literary giant set in the glittering world of French expats in WWII Manhattan-for fans of ,The Paris Wife,Set in Manhattan and Quebec City in 1943, ,Studio Saint-Ex, is a fictionalized account of the love triangle among Antoine de Saint-ExupÃ©ry, his mercurial wife, Consuelo, and a young fashion designer. Mignonne Lachapelle leaves Montreal for New York to make her name, but is swept away by the charms of Franceâ€™s greatest living writer. Nothing about their relationship is simpleâ€”not Antoineâ€™s estranged wife who entangles Mig in her schemes to reclaim her husband, not his turmoil, and certainly not their tempestuous trysts or the blurring boundaries of their artistic pursuits. Yet the greatest complication comes in the form of a deceptively simple manuscript: Antoineâ€™s work-in-progress, ,The Little Prince,, a tender tale of loneliness, friendship, love, and loss in the form of a young prince fallen to earth.,Studio Saint-Ex is a deeply evocative love story of a literary giant caught between two talented and mesmerizing women, set in the glittering world of French expatriates in Manhattan during World War II. Reminiscent of ,The Paris Wife,, ,Loving Frank,, and ,The Rules of Civility,, ,Studio Saint-Ex, explores themes of love, passion, and creativity in sophisticated, literary prose.
