Synopsis
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Paris is starving. Through the bitter winter of 1870, as Prussian guns ring the besieged city and bohemian artists share what little they have, the American painter Jack Trent clings to one warmth the cold cannot reach — his young wife Sylvia. Then a secret from her past surfaces, and jealousy drives him from their garret into the chaos of a desperate sortie, where fog-shrouded battlefields swallow men whole. But it is only when the first shell screams down into the Latin Quarter that Trent learns what he truly stands to lose — and whether he can reach her before the war reaches their door.
