The Sunday Times bestseller and one of the most talked-about novels of 2003, now in paperback.Elegance. Audrey Hepburn had it. Grace Kelly had it. Louise Canova does not.Until one day, browsing in a second-hand bookshop, Louise stumbles over a faded hardback. Elegance is an A–Z of style, written by French fashion expert, Madame Antoine Dariaux: a veritable what-not-to-wear in print.When Louise starts to follow Madame's advice, her life is transformed. From Accessories to Zippers, there is nothing Madame cannot advise upon, including types of husband (the blind, the ideal, the dictator) and shopping with girlfriends (don't).Within the book's pages Louise finds clues to her own past. And as she begins to unravel them, she discovers a courage she never thought possible. For true elegance cannot be attained until she is comfortable in her own skin: only then might love flourish.

Tillfälligt slut
Londons societet under 1950-talet Ett brev vänder nygifta Grace Munroes liv upp och ner. Låt oss framföra vårt djupa deltagande i er sorg. Vår firma förvaltar dödsboet för den nyligen avlidna madame Eva dOrsey och det är vår plikt att meddela att ni är huvudarvingen i hennes testamente. Vi ber att ni kommer till vårt kontor så snart som möjligt, så att vi kan gå igenom ert arv i detalj. Det är bara en sak som är lite underlig. Grace har aldrig hört talas om någon Eva dOrsey. Så börjar resan som leder Grace till Paris och in i den förföriska världen av parfymmakare och deras musor. Via ett övergivet parfymeri kommer Grace närmare den hjärtskärande historien om hennes okända välgörare Eva, en färgstark kvinna som hänförde 1920-talets överklass i både New York och Paris. *** Kathleen Tessaro föddes i Pittsburgh och studerade drama innan hon emigrerade från USA till London. Efter tio år som skådespelerska bytte hon karriär. Hon arbetade under flera år vid engelska nationaloperan samtidigt som hon utbildade sig till dramalärare och sångpedagog på kvällstid. Under denna period började hon skriva på lunchrasterna, mestadels noveller. Tessaros första roman Elegance blev en stor succé när den kom 2004 och den hyllades av såväl läsare som av kritiker. Parfymsamlaren är hennes femte bok.
