It's 1922 in the Manhattan of gin, jazz and prosperity. Women wear makeup and hitched hemlines - and enjoy a new freedom to vote and work. Not so for Evelyn Lockhart, who is forbidden from pursuing her passion to become one of the first female doctors. Chasing her dream will mean turning her back on her family: her competitive sister, Viola; her conservative parents; and the childhood best friend she is expected to marry, Charlie.

Everyone remembers her daringly short, silver lamé dress. An iconic photo capturing an electric moment, where emerging American designer Astrid Bricard is young, uninhibited, and on the cusp of fashion and feminism’s changing landscape. She and fellow designer Hawk Jones are all over Vogue and the disco scene. Yet she can't escape the legacy of being the daughter of Mizza Bricard, infamous "muse" for Christian Dior. Astrid would give anything to take her place among the great houses of couture—on her own terms. I won’t inspire it when I can create it. But then Astrid disappeared…

Description
England, 1918. Armistice Day should bring peace into Leonora's life. Rather than secretly making cosmetics in her father's chemist shop to sell to army nurses such as Joan, her adventurous Australian friend, Leo hopes to now display her wares openly. Instead, Spanish flu arrives in the village, claiming her father's life. Determined to start over, she boards a ship to New York City. On the way she meets debonair department store heir Everett Forsyth.... In Manhattan, Leo works hard to make her cosmetics dream come true, but she's a woman alone with a small salary and a society that deems make-up scandalous.
New York City, 1949. Everett's daughter, Alice, a promising ballerina, receives a mysterious letter inviting her to star in a series of advertisements for a cosmetics line. If she accepts she will be immortalized like dancers such as Zelda Fitzgerald, Josephine Baker and Ginger Rogers. Why, then, are her parents so quick to forbid it?
Her Mother's Secret is the story of a brave young woman chasing a dream in the face of society's disapproval.D'autres livres audio du même...

A very compelling story
They say a page turner, and it was a page turner. It was absolutely a very attractive storyline with interesting historical facts about women’s challenges in America’s early twentieth century. I had no idea cosmetic industry had that much of challenges and that there were social limitations on its use. Very entertaining.

This is a enjoyable fast paced novel
I did enjoy this book. The ending was rushed due to so much build up with too soft of an ending. It did not feel completed I did like the authors note at the end

Wonderful!
A captivating story in every way. I loved the strength of the characters and the way the story focused on the challenges of women in life, in business and the world in general during the time period. The way their lives were intertwined and the story unfolded was brilliant. The narration was also excellent. I couldn’t stop listening.

captivating rabbit hole of love, loss and ambition
Couldn't make myself turn it off. It kept me entralled from beginning to end and finished it in less than two days. Now to be productive again and catch up on real life 😅

Unbearable melodrama
While this novel held potential there were excessive passages of juvenile romance. It is unfortunate as the story of the development of cosmetics is fascinating.
