Description

The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman In the midst of World War II, Paris is on the brink of occupation, and two women are about to embark on journeys that will change their lives forever. For Solange Beaugiron, her grandmother's apartment holds secrets and treasures beyond measure, but as she prepares to leave it behind, she begins to uncover the story of a remarkable woman who lived there. Marthe de Florian's life was one of art and beauty, but also of hardship and resilience. As she shares her tale with Solange, she reveals a world of elegance and sophistication, from the stunning portrait painted by Giovanni Boldini to the exquisite string of pearls that have been passed down through generations. Alyson Richman brings this true story to life with sensitivity and depth, creating a narrative that is both poignant and uplifting.
