Author’s Notes
Chapter 1. The prime minister’s radio address is a transcript of British Prime Minister Chamberlain’s radio address. To hear the actual speech, search the Internet for the audio of the British Declaration of War Radio Broadcast, September 3, 1939.
The Perfumes:
The fictional perfume, Chimère, is based on a perfume created by perfumer Marvel Fields, then of Mane USA. It was called Fabulous by Jan Moran® and was sold in boutiques. It exists today only in my private reserve.
Other perfumes, including d’Orange Sanguine and La Violette, are based on an artisan perfume line I developed. The Joie de Bretancourt, Jour de Bretancourt, and Nuit de Bretancourt, perfumes are entirely fictional.
