The Bugatti Queen by Miranda Seymour
Go back to the glamour of Paris between the wars, on the trail of Helene Delangle. How did the daughter of a village postmaster become a celebrated showgirl, dancer and then a record breaking grand prix driver?

Miranda Seymour joins Jenni to discuss the woman whose beaming smile and blonde curls captivated the crowds - and to find out why her life ended in obscurity and poverty.
The Bugatti Queen by Miranda Seymour published by Simon & Schuster; ISBN: 0743231465
