Oh dang, another HF in which I wish I read the author‘s note first to realize scoundrel Harry Thaw was an IRL person, and this was not a WWII story, but rather the 40s were used by the author to imagine a story where wacko men like Thaw were able to use their power to be truly horrible human beings with their impact lasting generations. … March #BookSpin published 2016-2019 @TheAromaofBooks

Finished this wonderful book late last night. I wasn‘t sure that I would really like it as it didn‘t grab me right at first. But when it did I was hooked! Just a beautiful story set in WWII but not really about the war, more about the characters and how past issues can effect them throughout life and effect others. Beautifully written with characters you fall in love with. Great historical fiction!

I was hoping to already have this book finished but my minor surgery really messed me up. I‘ve never had trouble with anesthesia before but this time I was extremely sick coming out of it. To make matters worse my tongue had gotten stuck between the breathing tube & my teeth so my tongue is (still) swollen, it should be better soon. Hopefully now that the dizziness is mostly gone I can read a bit instead of sleeping all the time.

Going to have some minor surgery today. But of course it‘s always a waiting game. So hoping to finish this one up!

Reading by candlelight 🕯 because we had a terrible storm go through our area and have been without power for over 5 hours now! Luckily the rain has cooled things off a bit and we can open the windows! Hopefully our power will be restored soon!

9/10 Great read, characters are likeable and interesting. What starts as a idyllic picture of life in early WWII era Paris, takes an unexpected dive into American fashion in New York. Some of the time jumps between early 1940's and modern day can be confusing, but in the long run it all makes sense.

The premise had me all in, 1940‘s so much yes! I think for me I was hoping for more then just a fashion book. It was ok but it left me wanting something a little bit more.

What captured my interest was twofold. The historical fiction piece was well researched and powerful. The other part of this story which resonated with me were the relationships. There was a huge amount of drama that went along with the MC‘s in this story as well as secrets that were steeped in heartache and misery. To soften the story there was romance & I found it a bit fanciful. Full review at www.thegenreminx.com #TheGenreMinxBookReviews

I really liked this. I got caught up in it early on, and I was kept wanting to read to find out. I don‘t feel like there were many twists, but I thought the secrets were unraveled very nicely. One thing that did come as a surprise to me was in the author‘s note about what events were historically true

Book, choc chip cookie, and caramel brownie flavoured tea. Bliss!

Occasionally I work in our office that is really close to home, and close to a bookshop. Depending on your perspective that could be seen as a blessing or a too hard to resist curse

Here's today's purchase

ARC from Netgalley

There is no doubt that I am a fan of Natasha's writing, her strong female characters who face hardships and obstacles with grace and determination. 5⭐️

Looking forward to the long weekend and reading Estella's story.
