Thank you to @Hyggebooktours and @joffebooks for having me on the tour of Stardust by Hope C Tarr
Set against the backdrop of World War II, we follow Rose O'Neil, who has opened a fashion store in Manhattan and is eager to expand to Paris. She dreams of her granddaughter becoming her successor.
In 1938, Rose plans a trip for her granddaughter to visit the glamorous Paris at the age of 18. Little does she know that her journey will include an apprenticeship under the iconic Coco Chanel. Amidst the glitz and glamour, we also catch glimpses of the past, particularly how WWII is affecting the Jewish community and the broader world around them.
This story is rich in character development, exploring themes of love, loss, and loyalty as the characters navigate their intertwined lives during such a tumultuous time.
