Daphne le Marche, matriach of an international cosmetics concern, is dying and needs to finalise her will. Much to the dismay of her greedy son, she leaves her business, assets, the bulk of her fortune, and most importantly, a secret formula, to her granddaughters. This creates a family row like no other. This is a wonderful, fun and easy to read venture with elements of fashion, romance, mystery and family drama. The story switches between Daphne's past, and the present lives of the grandchildren Billie and Celeste. It's a wonderful light read, and a good edition to my holiday collection. This book turned out to be very inspirational for me and I enjoyed it after I got through the beginning. I found the beginning a bit boring and all those different points of view made book really confusing at first but after the story really started, it got better and in the end I couldn't put it down until the very last word. The story was lovely, and the events in the book restored my faith in girl power. Daphne's story was very sad but at the same time very inspirational and I'm very, vey happy with the ending. All the characters added to the books quality because they were very deep and complex characters and I like how they have they own stories within the main story. All in all, this was a very lovely book and I loved reading it. *I received the ARC from the publisher via NetGalley aucune critique | ajouter une critique

I think the cover is lovely and, I adored the storyline. The flitting back and forth, the intrigue, the characters, it was a page turner I could not put down until I had got to the end ( thank heavens for insomnia!!)
This book was a true delight from London, Paris, Nice and Switzerland. I cannot recommend this book enough when it is published, it really was a joy to read.
I rate this book 5/5 ( )
