"Arch of Triumph" is a poignant story of love against all odds—a love that brings pain, yet bestows infinite joy.
The setting is Paris on the eve of World War II. The protagonist is a refugee from Germany, living without documents, hiding from both the French and the Nazis, a surgeon who saves human lives. The heroine is an Italian actress, surrounded by admirers, temperamental like all artists, beautiful and irresistible.
Both the time when the lovers met and the city, suffused with the feeling of an impending catastrophe, become characters in this novel.
"Arch of Triumph" has been adapted for the screen twice and continues to captivate readers all over the world."
