From the publisher:

New York, 1950. Navit, a penniless young artist, inherits a charming but somewhat outdated magazine: Gentlemind. Intelligent, combative and daring, she becomes its boss and takes on the insane challenge of making it a modern magazine. Haunted by the memory of her lover who disappeared on the European front, she must face the reality of an American society in the middle of a golden, but resolutely macho, age....

Juan Diaz Canales and Teresa Valero recount 30 years in the life of a remarkable woman, from her Bohemian youth to her sudden success, and her decades-long search for her first love. A moving and tragic tale beautifully brought to life by the pencil and watercolors of Italian artist Antonio Lapone.

Resume:

New-York, 1950.

Navit, une jeune artiste désargentée, hérite d'un journal de charme quelque peu désuet : 'Gentlemind'.

Combative, intelligente et audacieuse, elle s'improvise patronne de presse et se lance le défi insensé d'en faire un magazine moderne.

Hantée par le souvenir de son amant disparu sur le front en Europe, elle doit affronter la réalité d'une société américaine en plein âge d'or mais résolument machiste...
