Eve de Lancel dared to bring endless scandal upon herself when she ran away from home to live in unrepentant sin, to win stardom singing in Paris music halls, to risk her life at the front during Word War I, to marry Vicomte Paul de Lance land become the greatest lady of Champagne. 

          Eve’s daughter Freddie defied even the high-spirited Eve by learning to fly solo before her sixteenth birthday, fighting for England during World War II, loving deeply and loosing as gallantly as she won. 

          Freddy’s sister Delphine led a secret life of nightclubbing and gambling in Hollywood, made a screen test on a whim, and by 18 she was a film star desired by men all over the world. Yet she courted danger and risked all during the war, driven by her passion for the one man she could never possess – or forget.
