About this product
Product Information
When Maude Pichon runs away from provincial Brittany to Paris, her romantic dreams vanish as quickly as her savings. Desperate for work, she answers an unusual ad. The Durandeau Agency provides its clients with a unique service--the beauty foil. Hire a plain friend and become instantly more attractive. Monsieur Durandeau has made a fortune from wealthy socialites, and when the Countess Dubern needs a companion for her headstrong daughter, Isabelle, Maude is deemed the perfect adornment of plainness. Isabelle has no idea her new "friend" is the hired help, and Maude's very existence among the aristocracy hinges on her keeping the truth a secret. Yet the more she learns about Isabelle, the more her loyalty is tested. And the longer her deception continues, the more she has to lose. The paperback of Belle Epoque has brand new content that includes a translation and extended author's note about the short story by Emile Zola that inspired the book. A William C. Morris YA Debut Award Finalist A Junior Library Guild Selection "Both touching and fun, this is a story about many things--true friendship, real beauty, being caught between two worlds--and it will delight fans of historical fiction."-- Publisher's Weekly "A refreshingly relevant and inspiring historical venture."-- Kirkus Reviews "A compelling story about friendship, the complexity of beauty, and self-discovery...full of strong female characters."-- School Library Journal "With resonant period detail, elegant narration, and a layered exploration of class and friendship, this provocative novel is rife with satisfaction."-- Booklist "Much to offer a contemporary YA audience...flirtation and match-making to tantalize romance fans...prime book-club fare."-- The Bulletin "This delectable Parisian tale left me sighting with sweet satisfaction. J'adore Belle Epoque "-Sonya Sones, author of What My Mother Doesn't Know and To Be Perfectly Honest

Reviews
Booklist , April 15, 2013: " With resonant period detail, elegant narration, and a layered exploration of class and friendship, this provocative novel is rife with satisfaction." Publishers Weekly , May 6, 2013: "Ross offers not one, but two strong heroines in her debut novel, both navigating the choppy waters of the Paris debutante season, albeit from different social classes. Though Maude is the chief protagonist (and narrator), Isabelle is highly engaging as a young woman determined to challenge the expectations of her gender and study science at a university. Both touching and fun, this is a story about many things-true friendship, real beauty, being caught between two worlds-and it will delight fans of historical fiction." Historical Novels Review Editors' Choice "This is an excellent cross-genre read that many will appreciate for its themes on how young women view themselves and the world around them."

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
