    About this audiobook

    Paris, 1956.
    Eighteen year old Daphné may be from a tiny French village, but she knows she’s destined for more. Stepping off a bus into bustling Paris with a suitcase full of her home-made beauty products, she’s ready to do whatever it takes to claim her stake in the world.

    London, 2016.
    Scandalous love affairs and an iconic cosmetics brand have kept Daphné Le Marche in spotlight – but her darkest secrets have never come to light. Now, in her London penthouse, enveloped in her rich signature scent, the Grande Dame of glamour has died.

    But not even those closest to her could have been prepared for what came next.

    The Last Will and Testament of Daphné Le Marche is a sweeping story of heartbreak, scandal and the importance of keeping it in all the family...

      Daphne le Marche, matriach of an international cosmetics concern, is dying and needs to finalise her will. Much to the dismay of her greedy son, she leaves her business, assets, the bulk of her fortune, and most importantly, a secret formula, to her granddaughters. This creates a family row like no other. This is a wonderful, fun and easy to read venture with elements of fashion, romance, mystery and family drama. The story switches between Daphne's past, and the present lives of the grandchildren Billie and Celeste.  It's a wonderful light read, and a good edition to my holiday collection.
