A handful of American designers are set to become the industrys first names, and Mignonne Lachapelle is determined to be among them. Her ambition and ethics are clear and uncomplicated, until she falls for the celebrated and tormented adventurer Captain Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who, six months after the surrender of France, has fled Europes ashen skies after flying near-suicidal reconnaissance missions for the French Air Force. In New York, he writes a new book on the fall of France, <em>Flight to Arras</em> (it becomes a number-one best seller) and collects (a year late) his 1939 National Book Award for his <em>Wind, Sand and Stars,</em> a poetic account of his flying escapades over North Africa and South America (by the time of his arrival in New York, in early 1941, the book has sold 250,000 copies). To distract himself from his malaise about France and at being in exile, and at his publishers offhand suggestion, he begins work on a childrens story about a petit bonhomme in the Sahara Desert . . .</p><p>Nothing about Migs relationship with Saint-Ex is simple, not his turmoil and unhappiness about being in New York and grounded from wartime skies, nor Migs tempestuous sexual encounter with Antoine and the blurring boundaries of their artistic pursuits, or Saint-Exupérys wife who insidiously entangles Mig in her schemes to reclaim her husband. The greatest complication of Migs bond with Saint-Exupéry comes in the form of a deceptively simple manuscript: Antoines work in progress about a little boy, a prince, whos fallen to earth on a journey across the planets . . .</p><p>An irresistible novel that brings to life the complex, now almost mythic Saint-Exupéry and the glittering life of wartime New York.</p><p>This ebook edition includes a Reading Group Guide.</p>...9780307962805_Knopf Doubleday Publishing Grouplibro_electonico_d0f32fd6-4fc9-32f8-95e3-962691da08ec_9780307962805;9780307962805_9780307962805Ania SzadoInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/RandomHouse-epub-62344e02-aa3f-4462-8260-f5375e6f6f51.epub2013-06-04T00:00:00+00:00Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group
