The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman

3.0

A very beautiful book of two unforgettable heroines and their respective timelines: Marthe and her granddaughter Solange. This novel goes back and forth between these dual stories, but the alternate points of view were not confusing at all. I really found it interesting how Marthe and Solange were real people, but not much is known about them. Additionally, I loved the inspiration behind this book: a mysterious, abandoned, time capsule-like apartment in Paris.

I'm glad I read this one... a novel of family, passion, bravery, and sacrifice. Highly recommended.
