What I knew most about Helena Rubinstein was that her name was always attached to the PBS children’s programs I, and then my own children, used to watch. That’s all. I didn’t know who she was, or what she had done. Elizabeth Arden I’d heard of as a brand, but knew nothing about the woman herself. I learned a lot reading this.
I was drawn into the story immediately and didn’t want to stop reading.
Excellent historical fiction, and very, very readable. This is definitely one to add to your TBR list.
I'd never read a book of Gill Paul's before this one; that will certainly be changing. Which title of hers should I read next?
Thank you to Avon Books UK and NetGalley for the DRC!
