 Elegance
By Kathleen
Tessaro
Louise Canova's actor-husband is growing more aloof with each passing
day, and a mystified Louise can't help but think that it's her fault.
Desperate for any sort of relationship advice, Louise turns to an obscure
book she finds in a used bookstore: Elegance by French fashionista
Madame Dariaux. Dariaux's book is an encyclopedia of all things style
and grace, but the lessons Louise learns affect her life in decidedly
unpredictable ways! Fashion and love collide in Tessaro's fun and unusual
first novel.
