Lost in a Good Book; Heaven, Hell & Mademoiselle

Heaven, Hell & Mademoiselle by Harold Carlton
"Four young fashion hopefuls arrive in Paris, 1968, determined to claw their way to the top of the ruthless world of the haute couture. Monique, a seamstress destined to become so much more, watches Chanel's staff spray No 5 perfume in the street outside the famous maison de couture. Can her dreams of success and love come true in this magical place? Christopher, London born and bred, a handsome new designer, determined to make it in a world where sex-appeal and success go hand in hand - and heterosexual men are rare and prized. Samantha, an ultra-spoiled Daddy's girl who always gets her way, has the gift of selling French perfume and fashion with sex, sex and yet more sex. But can a loud, brash American ever conquer the sophisticated ladies of Paris? And hauntingly beautiful Sophie, the top model who becomes Chanel's 'Face' on a million billboards and magazine covers, yet has a terrible secret in her past that refuses to stay buried. Four young lives collide and entangle in the secretive world of French fashion as Harold Carlton weaves a spellbinding tale of passionate love, ambitious rivalry and exquisite clothes." - Amazon.com

Summer is almost here! If you are looking for a light read by the beach, this is the perfect recommendation for you. Set in the 1960, Harold engaged you in a world of haute couture, gossips and love. The book definitely lives up to its promise of a delicious mix of Sex and the City and The Devil Wears Prada, you'll love Heaven, Hell & Mademoiselle. 


It is such page turner, I couldn't put it down.

3.5/5 stars
