Summary: Hate Fashion, But LOVE This Book!
Review: Yes, that's right. I have absolutely no interest in fashion, but I do have a great interest in well-written contemporary literature, especially first novels, which is why I love "Elegance."I was drawn to this book by its fire-engine red cover, and the great drawing and design. So many times, the cover is WAY better than what's inside (and vice versa, also, of course), but this is not the case here. I'm exactly half-way through this book, and just had to stop reading and give it a well-deserved plug on this site. I skimmed the other customer reviews here, and IMO this book is nothing like "Bridget Jones's Diary" -- I read one chapter of "Bridget" and then called it quits. Other reviewers also commented that this is "Brit Lit" -- the author is American, the protagonist is an American albeit one who is living in London, and this book has a distinctly American voice to it, despite the author's appropriate use of some British words. ("When in Rome," etc....) Simply put, the book is bautiful inside and out. I hope you're working on a second one, Ms. Tessaro!
