About:
Three generations. One chance to prove themselves. Can the women of the Bricard fashion dynasty finally rewrite their history?
French countryside, Present Blythe Bricard is the daughter of famous fashion muses but that doesn’t mean she wants to be one. She turned her back on that world, and her dreams, years ago. Fate, however, has a different plan, and Blythe will discover there is more to her iconic mother and grandmother than she ever knew. New York, 1970: Designer Astrid Bricard arrives in bohemian Chelsea determined to change the fashion world forever. And she does―cast as muse to her lover, Hawk Jones. And when they’re both invited to compete in the fashion event of the century―the Battle of Versailles―Astrid sacrifices everything to showcase her talent. But then, just as her career is about to take off, she mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind only a white silk dress.
Paris, 1917: Parentless sixteen-year-old Mizza Bricard has made a to be remembered on her own terms. Her promise sustains her through turbulent decades and volatile couture houses until, finally, her name is remembered and a legend is born―one that proves impossible for Astrid and Blythe to distance themselves from.
My Review:
I struggled to stay with this. There is a point where I’ll keep going in a book once I’ve started. Im not one to give up once im 3 chapters in. Still, this was difficult to stay with. , and since I’d met the author, I felt I should give it my best shot.
The dialogue was difficult to follow, and conversations jumped around too quickly, leaving me wondering if I had missed something. It’s high brow, long-winded, and not really gripping.
I felt I needed a synopsis of fashion world talk to understand some of the jargon.
I’ve not read any of these authors’ books before, and the plotline drew me in, but unfortunately, this was a letdown for me..
