The Last Collection: A Novel of Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel
by Jeanne Mackin
Unique Historical Fiction Perspective (3/7/2019)
I really enjoyed the fact that this book was from the perspective of someone experiencing World War II through its effect on Paris fashion and fashion icons. It's a new and unique take. The characters were well represented and the entire book encouraged me to look into the history of both Schiaparelli and Chanel. If you're into WWII historical fiction and are looking to learn, this is the book for you!
American Princess: A Novel of First Daughter Alice Roosevelt
by Stephanie Marie Thornton
Great Story about the Other National Monument! (11/20/2018)
I very much enjoyed this book! The description of personalities was so vivid and lifelike that I ended up feeling as if I were reading about people I myself had known. Historical fiction lovers will find themselves enjoying a book over a woman who has not been thoroughly written about.
