She didn't quite like it as much.<BR/><BR/>Coversgirl - If you do read it, I hope you like it.

It seems like we had many of the same complaints about the book though.<BR/><BR/>Danielle - It is an interesting time period. I know so little about the fashion world, and much less about its history. So this book offered me a tiny bit of education in that regard.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-5377452147915114562007-10-05T20:41:00.000-07:002007-10-05T20:41:00.000-07:00This sounds like a fun read.

I did a little online research after I read the book to see what was truth and what was fiction. As you said, she's a fascinating woman.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-37859074796063806312007-10-04T20:49:00.000-07:002007-10-04T20:49:00.000-07:00Thank you, Debi!Thank you, Debi!Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-79512472290006054342007-10-04T03:42:00.000-07:002007-10-04T03:42:00.000-07:00Thanks, Wendy, for your kind words on my blog!

I think the thing that reeled me in with this book was the historical aspect. <BR/><BR/>Bridget - I've got you down for Picoult's book. :-) <BR/><BR/>Ladytink - The cover is attractive, I agree. Nice and simple. I hope you like it if you do decide to read it.<BR/><BR/>Heather - This particular publisher just sends books and I can pick and choose from what they give me what I want to read, as long as I read a certain number of them.
