review 1: Well, I do have to admit this is an enjoyable and fascinating read about Gabrielle Chanel. What I am enjoying the most about this book is how the perfume itself came into existence. Starting with the background of Gabrielle's youth(life in the convent) and then the serendipitous...

review 1: Read this book while sitting on the beach and sipping a cold bottle of Clicquot. It's a fascinating historical look at the development of the champagne industry and the Veuve Clicquot brand. As many other reviewers have pointed out, It is full of supposition. That doesn't bot...

review 1: This was a disappointment. The concept was fascinating, but it failed to live up to the promise. Yes, during World War II the Hotel Ritz was home to a number of French as well as the German conquerors, and they are named here. The book is full of name-dropping. But for the most p...

review 1: This book was written by a very talented Author who at times produced moments here and there to capture ones interest. Unfortunately the vast majority of it was flat, and resembled the dull unimaginative ramblings of a snobby dinner guest. It felt quite truly like a long, long lo...
Widow Cliquot (2008)

review 1: This was like reading required reading for college; not terrible if it's required, but definitely not interesting enough to bother with otherwise. There is very little information about the Barbe-Nicole Cliquot -- no letters, few contemporay accounts-- so the author pieces togeth...

review 1: To her last surviving great-grandchild Madame Clicquot writes, "I am going to tell you a secret... You more than anyone resemble me, you who have such audacity. It is a precious quality that has been very useful to me in the course of my long life... to dare things before others....
