Les Demoiselles
Out of stock
Of these three rules, however, only one would be obeyed."
Rosa was fifteen when she set off on a cold autumn morning with a single idea in mind: to reach the Basque country to become an espadrille sewer and escape her fate. But at the end of the road, she meets the Demoiselles. Whimsical, mysterious women living among books, garters and glasses of champagne. But who are they? What secrets do they hide? Free and incandescent, accompanied by a butler bigger than a cathedral, a shady chauffeur and a saucy parrot, the Demoiselles should never have crossed Rosa's path. But these women will change her life.
« "Il n’y a que trois règles ici. La première : ne jamais tomber amoureuse. La deuxième : ne jamais voler l’homme d’une autre. La dernière : ne boire que du champagne millésimé."
De ces trois règles, une seule pourtant serait respectée. »
Rosa a quinze ans quand elle prend la route, un froid matin d’automne, avec une seule idée en tête : rejoindre le Pays basque pour devenir couseuse d’espadrilles et échapper à son destin. Mais au bout du chemin, elle rencontre les Demoiselles. Des femmes fantasques et mystérieuses vivant au milieu des livres, des jarretières et des coupes de champagne. Qui sont-elles ? Quel secret cachent-elles ? Libres et incandescentes, accompagnées d’un majordome plus grand qu’une cathédrale, d’un chauffeur louche et d’un perroquet grivois, les Demoiselles n’auraient jamais dû croiser la route de Rosa. Pourtant, ces femmes vont changer sa vie.

FAQ
Here are the answers to the most common questions I get asked, please review them and reach out to me if you need more info on something, I love to help you pick the right book, just for you!
Are the books New?
Yes, all the books that I sell during my bookfairs or online on my e-boutique are brand new.. You will be the very first to flip all the pages and enjoy the feeling of holding your own book in your hand.
What defines the prices of the books?
As a passionate small business owner, my goal is to offer a high level of quality imported from France at the best price. I understand that some people may be surprised by the difference of price between French and American books. In France, books are more expensive as authors and illustrators get larger copyright compensations. Also, imports cost quite a bit if you take into account the price of transport as well as the weight of what is being transported. I appreciate your constant support, when you choose sustainable small businesses over large corporations.
Do you have a shop?
My main way of meeting you is book fairs, festivals and private sales. Ordering online through my e-boutique is the best way to support French Authors and Small Minority Owned business like mine.
