A Kiwi writer's obsession with all things Art Deco led her to pen a book set in the turbulent inter-war period in France. Jeena Murphy's novel Rue de Paradis is based on a young woman's experience of fleeing her home village for the bright lights of Paris in 1933, where she finds work as a model for one of the best-known sculptors of the era. His name was Demétre Chiparus, a Romanian emigre, whose ivory and bronze figurines often drew inspiration from the ballet world.
