“Listen, Céleste, I love you very much, but I’m not rich enough to keep you along with all these responsibilities. If you want, my chateau is unoccupied. Bring your furniture; you won’t have to pay rent. We’ll live happily at my place, and I’ll make the necessary changes. If someday we break up and I marry, I will pay back what I owe you.”

That was one of the best days of my life.

In Memoirs of a French Courtesan Volume 3: Luck, Céleste Mogador is torn between her love for the volatile Robert and the steady Richard, she cares for an infant goddaughter, and through it all she works in the theater and attends glittering balls. She also takes up gambling—on roulette and Robert’s faltering fortune—while a revolution sparks and a cholera epidemic erupts. Where will her luck leave her when the house of cards that is her life collapses?
