Some women of late 19th century Paris lived their lives in an aura of glamour and opulence, though they retained their pasts (and loss-filled sadness) beneath the surface...

I confess I am obsessed with this book and I plan to read it again - the mesmerizing story of Parisian Marthe de Florian‘s amazing life in the early 20th century 🥰

My favorite book set in #Paris ❤️❤️

I love Richman's work. She takes a real event, researches it, and then builds a beautiful story around it. This highlights a real apartment found in Paris in 2010 that had not been opened for 70 years. The people are real, there is just little known about them and Richman wove together a lovely novel giving a possibility.

Creating my very own library sounded like such a fun project... until I realized how many books I need to unpack 😅 #bookhaul #library #homelibrary #happyplace

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction with a touch of romance. Loosely based on a true story and set in Paris it's a perfect escape from every day life.

Started listening to this book today and I'm hooked!

Day 5 #7days7books that left an indelible impression

The setting is Paris late 19th century to mid 20th century: the story of Marthe de Florian. She shines in this portrait by Giovanni Boldini; the detail is exquisite. I love the hands.
If you haven‘t done this and want to play, please join in!

I own and love quite a few books set in Paris, but this is my favorite one ❤️💗💝💗❤️

@Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks who introduced me to this author & this book 🥰😍

Received the next/last book for #LMPBC today! However, I just started The Indigo Girl, so I won‘t be starting this one anytime soon.

I don‘t think I‘m behind, I think everyone else is just ahead 😂😂

@Laughterhp The Velvet Hours is on its way to you tomorrow morning. Enjoy!

Read for #LMPBC Round 5 - #GroupJ
@suvata @Laughterhp @wife @litenthusiast

I‘m purposely being vague about this book because I want the other members of this group to be surprised when they read it. I would give this WWII novel 3.5 stars. I really like how it was told from two perspectives: a grandmother and her granddaughter.

Yay! Look what came in the mail today.

Coming up in May ...
#suvataPicks #MayTBR

Just finished this book for #LMPBC. I don't want to go into my thoughts too much because I want the rest of my group to have a chance to read it. However, I did enjoy this historical fiction novel and am fascinated by the story that inspired it. #GroupJ @Wife @Laughterhp
@suvata I'm putting this in the mail to you tomorrow!

Starting this one tonight. I'm really looking forward to it. #LMPBC #GroupJ

Thank you @Wife . Received the #LMPBC #GroupJ book today. Looking forward to reading it. @suvata @Laughterhp

#LMPBC #GroupJ Just finished and am not going to review other than to give 3/5⭐️s so that I don‘t spoil it for the rest of the group. I‘m happy to have another read accomplished for my #StackAttack2019. This will be in the mail in the next couple days.
