BOLD AND ELABORATE WRITING NOT EVERY READER’S CUP OF TEA
If you are a reader who dislikes flowery language and lyrical writing, you might not like this book. As a reader, I enjoy flowery writing, but this was sometimes even too embellished for my taste (Coco Chanel would not approve…).
However, if you love historical fiction, deep characters sketches and beautiful reimagining’s of history, this book will become a firm favourite.
MEMORABLE QUOTES FROM ‘THE CHANEL SISTERS’
The nuns said we should be content with our station in life, that it was God-pleasing. But we could never be content where we were, with what we had. We came from a long line of peddlers, of dreamers travelling down winding roads, sure that something better was just ahead.
