Julie Merton is determined to go to Paris to live as an artist, and she will not let her humble origins stand in her way. In a city gone mad over its first royal visitor, she seizes an unexpected opportunity, and soon the only thing standing between Julia and her dream of independence is a disturbingly handsome rake named Edward Longfield . . .
From society soirees to lowlife shindigs, drawing rooms to opium dens, 'The Remarkable Miss Julia Merton' is a wickedly funny romp through colonial Australia.
