Rouge by
Richard Kirshenbaum
What a great summer
read! Inspired by the lives and
rivalries of the pioneers of the modern cosmetics industry (think Helena Rubenstein,
Elizabeth Arden, Madam C. J. Walker, and Max Factor, with a little Avon thrown
in). The two main characters love making money, but they almost enjoy trumping each other even more.
Anyone who enjoys the glamour of old Hollywood and the 1920's and 1930's will devour Rouge. It's a great read-alike for books like The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an e-ARC in return for a review.
