Hotel Du Barry by Lesley Truffle
3.0
When I first started reading this book, I was thinking, WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS?! Then I got around to 60% of the book and I realized why.
A baby was found in the clothesline of Hotel du Barry and changed the lives of all the staff.

There is something captivating with the way this book was written. I completely fell in love with it in the first few chapters and wanted nothing else but to read further so I dropped the other book that I was reading to focus on this one.
The beginning of the book was great. I loved every bit of it. It was fast-paced and the characters were great. The narrative read like a fairytale and I'm a complete sucker for those! I had no problems about this book and even thought that this is going to be my next 5-star read. However...
We really did have to reach past half of the book. It was there when things started to go slow and things took a turn for the undesirable. It was not as fun and interesting as the first half. The magic was simply no longer there.
Still, I do think the baby--will soon be named Cat du Barry--is very lucky to have been surrounded by wonderful people in her life. I would love to be her. Lol.
