Coco and Igor was first published in the UK in 2002 by Headline Review and has since been translated into a dozen languages, including French, Russian, Polish, Greek, and Chinese. The novel is based on the secret affair between Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky in Paris in 1920.
Greenhalgh’s second novel, Seducing Ingrid Bergman, is set in Paris and Hollywood, after the end of the Second World War and tells the story of Ingrid Bergman and war photographer Robert Capa's intense and ultimately tragic relationship.[citation needed]
