France, 1940: Nazi forces march toward Paris. Lili Rosenswig's wealthy and eccentric family is ensconced in their country chateau with their sumptuous collection of arts and antiques. It is the day before young lovers Lili and Paul are to be married when they are forced to flee and their fortunes change irrevocably. Lili and her family escape but Paul must stay behind to defend his country. In their struggle to adapt to changing circumstances in an unpredictable world, all are pushed to reinvent themselves. Susan Winkler's Portrait of a Woman in White (She Writes Press) is a moving family saga, an obsessive search for lost love and lost art, and an exploration of how far we will go to survive. This event is sponsored by Alliance Française de Portland.
