À propos de cet audio

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.

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

This is a enjoyable fast paced novel

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.

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.

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.

Unbearable melodrama
