The Confession of a Courtesan

This is a story of a young peasant girl who becomes the mistress of King Louis XV in France. In steamy prose, John Okas takes us through the intriguing life of Jeanne, from her early days as the poorest girl at a convent school, to the emergence of her startling beauty at age fourteen, first love and sexual experience, and her forays into the working world as assistant to a hairdresser, companion and shop girl at an exclusive salon, and finally prostitution at the famed Madame Gordon's.
