Men swoon at her feet and women clients pack her off to London with dizzying sums to toss at antique dealers. Abetted by Armand Lafitte and a plain-speaking, filthy-rich female friend, Gaby takes New York by storm. Gabrielle Didier, she lands a job at Castleton's, a venerable auction house locked in grim combat with the House of Lafitte, which also deals in expensive antiques. A 38-year-old Ohio housewife cast off by her husband, she makes a duckling-to-swan metamorphosis and plunges into New York society. Readers able to suspend belief through innumerable baroque plot twists will relish heroine Gaby Cocroft.
