cover:
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 encylcopaedia of style. It promises to transform plain women into creatures of grace and poise at all times. And from Accessories to Zippers there's nothing Madame 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 books 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.

Quite an enjoyable tale. I got a bit annoyed in the middle when Louise was behaving like such a twat, but I did enjoy the feel-good ending. Eddie sounds delightful & I'd love to have Ria's classic elegance & a friend like Colin.
