"His new novel - his most daring an ambitious to date - is set in the glittering world of haute couture. Spanning two generations, two continents, from the fear and corruption of occupied France to the glamor of jet-set society and international high fashion, 'Goodbye Janette' is a book of nonstop excitement. It plunges the reader into a world in shich fortune turns on a new line, a new model, a new face; in; in which beauty, youth, and elgance are commodities, bought, sold, and traded.
At its center are three women, as richly sensual and exciting as only Harold Robbins can create them:
Tanya, whose instinct for survival has taken her...from the sufferings of wartime Poland tot the sufferings of wartime poland to the control of a vast fortune, and whose burning sexuality arouses in men passions she cannot control - and which
eventually destroy her...
Janette, Tanya's elder daughter, whose beauty and sensuality exceed even het mother's and who survives a childhood scene of stark sexual terror and perversion to conquer the world of international fashion; famous, wealthy, succesful, elegant - but never free of the past...
Lauren, Janette's half-sister, pursuing a liberated life-style, shose beauty makes her the toast of the fashion world and draws her into the intrigue and cross-currents of a crime that was committed before she was born...
Their story is told in a novel more daring, more shocking, more deeply erotic than anything Harold Robbins has written before."
