The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman

4.0

I really enjoyed this novel. It centers on the new relationship between a girl, Solange and her grandmother, Marthe. This story oscillates between two time periods. Throughout the novel, we learn about the splendors of Marthe's life. However, as the story goes on, we also see the hardships she faced. Solange has a similar storyline where she has many hardships that she has to overcome. I think what I like most about the novel is that it shows even during hard times, there can be happiness, and our happiness can be preserved in our loved ones.
