Three generations. One chance to prove themselves. Can the women of the Bricard fashion dynasty finally rewrite their history? French countryside, Present Day: Blythe Bricard is the daughter of famous fashion muses but that doesn't mean she wants to be one. She turned her back on that world, and her dreams, years ago. Fate, however, has a different plan, and Blythe will discover there is more to her iconic mother and grandmother than she ever knew. New York, 1970: Designer Astrid Bricard arrives in bohemian Chelsea determined to change the fashion world forever. And she does?cast as muse to her lover, Hawk Jones. And when they're both invited to compete in the fashion event of the century?the Battle of Versailles?Astrid sacrifices everything to showcase her talent. But then, just as her career is about to take off, she mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind only a white silk dress. Paris, 1917: Parentless sixteen-year-old Mizza Bricard has made a vow: to be remembered on her own terms. Her promise sustains her through turbulent decades and volatile couture houses until, finally, her name is remembered and a legend is born?one that proves impossible for Astrid and Blythe to distance themselves from.

I really enjoyed Astrid‘s story. She gave me Daisy Jones vibes minus the drugs and rock and roll. I think Blythe‘s story added some depth as well, and I could see a lot of parallels between hers and her mom‘s. And while I understood the want to have a multi-generational story with Mizza‘s (Astrid‘s mom) backstory, I felt hers was largely unnecessary and that the heart of the story would still be there even without it.

2.75⭐️

Bookbuyingaddict Thanks for that it‘s on my kindle and my ever growing TBR maybe il give it a go on the beach 🏝️ nothing lives up to daisy jones 6mo
Kristy_K @Bookbuyingaddict Agreed, Daisy Jones is in a class of her own. If you enjoy free-spirited women and multi-generational stories, I‘m sure you‘ll like this one! 6mo
