À propos de cet audio
A USA Today and a Globe and Mail best seller!
A novel of survival, love, loss, triumph - and the sisters who changed fashion forever
Antoinette and Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel know they’re destined for something better. Abandoned by their family at a young age, they’ve grown up under the guidance of nuns preparing them for simple lives as the wives of tradesmen or shopkeepers. At night, their secret stash of romantic novels and magazine cutouts beneath the floorboards are all they have to keep their dreams of the future alive.
The walls of the convent can’t shield them forever, and when they’re finally of age, the Chanel sisters set out together with a fierce determination to prove themselves worthy to a society that has never accepted them. Their journey propels them out of poverty and to the stylish cafés of Moulins, the dazzling performance halls of Vichy - and to a small hat shop on the rue Cambon in Paris, where a boutique business takes hold and expands to the glamorous French resort towns.
But the sisters’ lives are again thrown into turmoil when World War I breaks out, forcing them to make irrevocable choices, and they’ll have to gather the courage to fashion their own places in the world, even if apart from each other.
“The Chanel Sisters explores with care the timeless need for belonging, purpose, and love, and the heart’s relentless pursuit of these despite daunting odds. Beautifully told to the last page.” (Susan Meissner, best-selling author of The Last Year of the War)

Victorian London was notorious for its pickpockets. But in the country houses of the elite, gentleman burglars, art thieves and con men preyed on the rich and titled. Wealthy victims—with their pride and reputation at stake—would never go to the police. What they needed was a society insider, one of their own, a person of discretion and finely tuned powers of observation.

It starts off slow, gets better
I was disappointed in this book because the story of the Chanel sisters is actually very boring for the first part of their lives. I kept thinking - when is this going to get more interesting? The answer is - not until the back half of the book when the war breaks out and there are some love interests plus their venture in making hats. I was expecting more about how their business took off but that is just hinted at at the end of this book. Performance is very good. It’s just slow.

Such a great perspective
Loved the concept of this book; the early life of coco Chanel through the eyes and life of her little sister.
Narrator was also great with wonderful voices and accents for characters. Being bilingual I really appreciated the narrators ease with which she spoke the English and French in the book.

An all-round delightful book
The narrator nailed it. Her French is perfect (as far as I could tell) and she beings life to all the characters. Little has done a wonderful job of filling in all the gaps and telling a great story. One feels their grief, their loneliness, their desire for something better.
This is a subject I knew next to nothing about so I feel very delightfully enlightened. Great hob! Great book! Even the short chapters worked really well for me!! Now I want to know how the next decades play out for Coco (Gabrielle). You can't help but love the Chanels.
