Rezension zu „The Chaperone “
This is that rare, precious and fabulous thing - a proper story, with characters you care about desperately and root for right to the end ... I can't recommend this novel highly enough. In no particular order, it is moving, shocking, dramatic, clever, atmospheric, glamorous and satisfying. You'll adore it Daily Mail Devour it Marie Claire An evocative look at the early life of silent-film icon Louise Brooks, who in 1922 leaves Wichita, Kansas, for New York City in the company of 36-year-old chaperone, Cora Carlisle... Mesmerizing Vogue A lovely novel, full of humanity Sunday Times It's impossible not to be completely drawn in by The Chaperone. Laura Moriarty has delivered the richest and realest possible heroine in Cora Carlisle ... What a beautiful book. I loved every page -- Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife A fun romp Good Housekeeping Enthralling ... In this layered and inventive story, Moriarty raises profound questions about family, sexuality, history, and whether it is luck or will - or a combination of the two - that makes for a wonderful life O, The Oprah Magazine
