Jacqueline — Volume 2

When Jacqueline kisses her father and murmurs, “Poor papa!”, her stepmother’s flesh creeps. The girl who was once melancholy has discovered that silence can be sharper than a confession.

At Treport, where the beach rings with the laughter of the Blue Band, Jacqueline throws herself into a new life of flirtation, boating and dances. Madame de Nailles suspects that her stepdaughter has discovered a dangerous secret, while Fred, Jacqueline’s childhood friend, watches his place in her affections slip as the lively Raoul Wermant captures the girls’ attention. Jacqueline seems to relish her freedom—but how long can she keep everyone guessing, and what will Fred do with the jealousy he hides in his verses?
