Synopsis
The glittering fortunes of the Massot family, vastly wealthy owners of Paris’s greatest jewellery firm, were plunged into confusion seven years ago by the disappearance of Pierre Massot, its charismatic, secretive head. Now his beautiful young widow Sophie has decided she and her son Tom – and the firm – must move on to survive. But their enemies have other ideas and a trail of scandal is waiting to be uncovered… What really happened to Pierre? And what was the family secret he tried so hard to conceal?
The mistress of glitz and glamour is back – with her biggest book EVER …
“Sparkles” is a work of fiction.
I thought Sophie Massott was a great character. very well fleshed out. The book was very atmospheric- I could almost see myself in the mansion or on the most exclusive streets of Paris. The atmosphere in the book is one of pure luxury as it is in the jeweler’s. There is also suspense and worry at Pierre’s disappearance which is to be expected. Through it all, Sophie appears a very strong and resilient woman.
