Mademoiselle Eiffel und der Turm der Liebe

Lush, emotional, captivating: The inspiring story of the daughter of the Eiffel Tower's builder

Paris 1887: Gustave Eiffel wants to build the tallest tower in the world. Except for him, no one believes that the crazy steel colossus will be finished in time for the World’s Fair—except for his brave daughter Claire. At a time when it is still considered improper for women to walk alone, she stands by her father as his most important advisor and private secretary. But it’s not just the race against time that troubles the Eiffels: the Parisian art scene, led by Guy de Maupassant and Alexandre Dumas, is rallying against the alleged desecration of the city. Meanwhile, Claire has her own personal worries: the constant fear for her husband Adolphe, who is responsible for the dangerous construction of the tower’s pinnacle as a young engineer, is pushing their relationship to the brink. When a worker dies from a fall off the scaffolding and Claire meets the attractive reporter Gordon Bennett, who wants to offer her a free and carefree life in America, she must decide: Is the Eiffel Tower her destiny—or does her future lie in the New World?.
