Despre Elegance carte
An enchanting novel brimming with poignancy, humour, enchantment and insight, this is a stunning debut. Imagine an Audrey Hepburn film in the present day…
It was a slim, grey volume entitled Elegance…
Louise Canova is at a crossroads in her life. Her marriage is faltering and the insecurities of adolescence have returned to haunt her. Browsing in a second-hand bookshop, she stumbles across a faded grey volume. Written by the formidable French fashion expert, Madame Genevieve Antoine Dariaux, Elegance is an encyclopedia of style. It promises to transform plain women into creatures of poise at all times. And from Accessories to Zippers, there is nothing that Madame Dariaux can’t advise upon – including inattentive husbands, false friends, and the powerful bond between mothers and daughters.
When Louise vows to follow Madame’s advice, her life is transformed in ways she never imagined. Within the book’s pages lie clues to her own past. And as she begins to unravel them, she discovers a courage she never dreamt possible.
However, everything, even elegance, has its price.
Starting with A and finishing with Z, Elegance is a unique journey of timeless fashion, true friendship, and the rare, unexpected gift of love.

Kathleen Tessaro
Kathleen Tessaro s-a nascut in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, si a studiat la universitatea din orasul natal inainte de a se inscrie la un curs de teatru la Carnegie Mellon University. I-a luat mult pana s-a hotarat asupra profesiei: a vrut sa fie coregrafa, actrita, regizoare sau istoric de arta. O bursa de cateva luni a dus-o la Londra, oras pe care nu l-a mai parasit insa decat peste douazeci si trei de ani. A inceput sa scrie literatura la sugestia unei prietene si a frecventat Wimpole Street Writer’s Workshop. A debutat in volum cu romanul Eleganta, care a devenit bestseller si a avut mai multe editii. Toate cartile ei, printre care Innocence, The Flirt, The Debutante si mai recent Colectionara de parfumuri interzise (Nemira, 2015), au fost traduse in multe tari si s-au vandut in milioane de exemplare. Este o mare admiratoare a scriitorilor Jane Austen, Edith Wharton, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Henry James, Evelyn Waugh sau A.S. Byatt. Autoarea s-a intors la Pittsburgh in anul 2009, impreuna cu sotul si cu fiul ei.
