Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. This is my 3rd book on the Chanels and this will probably be it. This book is told from the perspective of the youngest sister, Antoinette. (Coco was the middle sister). Mostly about the sisters being raised in an orphanage and their later fashion lives and loves. Good perspective on WWI, where it stopped. I was hoping for some collaboration of Coco with the Nazis. 400 pages Biografia romanzata della celebre Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel. Da orfanella abbandonata assieme alle sorelle in un convento di suore a donna d'affari e guru della moda. Voce narrante è la sorella Antoinette, braccio destro di Coco e coautrice dell'indiscusso successo della Maison Chanel, come dire: dietro una grande donna c'è sempre una grande donna. I really enjoyed this book and felt I learned a little something about the fashion industry. I was fascinated. It's a story of perseverance and fighting for what you want. Along the way, these sisters show their strength and their bond. It was very well written, researched, and put together! Thank you for allowing me to read this! sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica

HTML:A USA Today and Globe and Mail bestseller! A novel of survival, love, loss, triumphâ??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 Vichyâ??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." â??Susan Meissner, bestselling author of The Last Year of the Wa Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

I enjoyed the biographic fiction about the lesser known Channel sister. In this story, both Coco and Annette want to be Something Better. They achieve this, but as is the story's ending in 1920, they do not find happiness. ( )
