About This Book
Their clothes and accessories are found in the wardrobes of the rich and famous and longed for by the rest of the world, but a former "Gucci wife" reveals the terrible truth from inside the dangerous world of this powerful family. In 1977, Jenny was an opera student in Florence. Young and beautiful, she caught the eye of Paolo Gucci, grandson of the founder of the fashion house, and one of the wealthiest men in the world. Paolo was artistic, creative, and displayed what Jenny describes as "a hypnotic gentleness." Within nine months of meeting, the couple married. For a decade, Jenny lived a life that most people can only dream ofshe stayed at the world's most exclusive locations and kept company with celebrities and royalty. But such privilege came at a pricebehind the glamorous facade of the fashion house was a family torn apart by rivalry, greed, and in-fighting. Against this backdrop, the darker side of Paolo's personality began to show itself as he became more and more cruel and vindictive. After a decade, Jenny filed for divorcea move that left her homeless, penniless, hungry, and facing a court case that was to last ten years. She suffered threats and intimidation from him and feared for her safety and that of their daughter, who he refused to support even after a spell in jail for contempt of court. Then in a final act of defiance that shocked the world, he starved his racehorses in a sick attempt to plead poverty. His fortune was so well hidden that more than a decade after his death it still has not been found. Jenny has survived countless struggles and unbelievable traumayet has come through them all to become a strong, independent woman. This insider's view from within the strangle hold of a powerful, unscrupulous force will leave readers breathless.
