It's the eighteenth century, and Celine is in trouble. A man, somewhere, is telling stories about her - about her affairs, her sexuality, her mad orgies and addictions. The stories aren't true, but they are spread like a plague as her name becomes a symbol for everything naughty and wrong. Moving from France to colonial America to the moon, from 1775 to this very moment - this is a historical novel like no other. One woman on a quest to clear her name and change the world.
