Gucci Wars - Jenny Gucci's Story cover

Behind the iconic Gucci name lies a family torn apart by betrayal, jealousy, greed and even murder. Jenny was an operatic student in Florence when she first caught the eye of fashion designer Paolo Gucci - grandson of the founder of the world's biggest fashion house. For ten years, as Mrs Gucci, she was blissfully happy living the life of ultimate luxury. However, she quickly learned that such privilege comes at a price. Against the backdrop of boardroom rivalry and infighting, a dark side of Paolo's character emerged and Jenny's world turned upside down. When she took the unprecedented step of asking for a divorce, her husband swore to make her, and their daughter, homeless and penniless. No-one could have foreseen the lengths he was prepared to go in order to carry out his threat. Jenny has survived countless struggles and shocking trauma to emerge as a strong, independent woman. Her story will leave you breathless.

"Mary Harboe has done a superb job of turning (Jenny's) story into something resembling a glossy Eighties bonkbuster." - The Daily Mail; "Anyone who still believes money buys you happiness should read this book." - The Daily Mail
