Description

Paris 1920. When Coco Chanel meets Igor Stravinsky, the exiled composer accepts the wealthy designer's offer to bring his family to summer at her villa. Soon she and her guest embark upon an affair which is complicated by their rigid devotion to their work, and Stravinsky's commitment to his family. The two lovers must consider the depth of their feelings, and whether, with the autumn drawing in, theirs is a relationship that can survive.

Professional reviews

"Now a major motion picture, premiered at Cannes Film Festival’s closing ceremony 'Chris Greenhalgh brilliantly conveys the atmosphere of tension and sultry passion' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'From the ephemeral liaison of the milliner and the musician, Greenhalgh has elicited a fine, entrancingly poetic novel.' PETER CONRAD for THE OBSERVER 'Greenhalgh writes convincingly, often sympathetically, about the sensual excitement that briefly unites the pair' SUNDAY TIMES"
