The Last Collection
The Last Collection: A Novel of Elsa Schiaparelli and Coco Chanel
by Jeanne Mackin
The Last Collection a great book group read (4/2/2019)
I enjoyed reading this historical fiction book. I knew nothing about the rivalry between Chanel and Schiaparell. The author uses beautifully descriptive language that brings the feud and Paris to life. I believe this would be such a good book great read; it has fashion history, art history and pre-World War II history. It is a colorful, compelling story. Highly recommended.

The Scribe of Siena (5/23/2017)
Melodie Winawer has written a vivid debut novel. The book is a mix of different genres including historical, time-travel, mystery and romance. The author has done impressive research into 14th century Italy and the plague.
I enjoyed this captivating novel.
