Reviews

In The Chateau Cannot be Missed!

‘In the Chateau’ is an engrossing novel which highlights the minds of women. It’s just what we need in a time when a woman’s voice is increasingly likely to be dampened or silenced altogether. As Ms. Jones writes: “the contribution of the valiant women who came to the Americas during this same period have been ignored and…are missing from the pages of history.” Too seldom are women featured as clever and supportive of other women without diminishing their own value. Perhaps most refreshing is the generous scattering of references to other works by women about women, as well as stories of women throughout history that are often left forgotten, representing an uplifting spirit at its finest.

Marjorie Jones brings every scene to life with exquisite, sumptuous descriptions that set the scene from cuisine to décor. These details never feel laborious and instead seem necessary. It is effortless to imagine oneself as a spectator in the room and a tourist sampling the many wonders and hidden secrets of Québec, both past and present. The mystery is as engrossing as the ambiance, with our heroine naturally finding mystery and intrigue as naturally as breathing. The cultural landscape of Québec is woven into the fabric of the narrative, lending a heightened realism to the narrative that inevitably sweeps the reader away and inevitably draws them in at every turn. I cannot recommend ‘In the Chateau’ highly enough!

Appearances Can Be Deceiving. Perfect Size
Color: Gold Triple Huggie
When I opened the package I was shocked at how tiny these appeared and my immediate thought was to return them without even trying them on. That would have been a mistake. I did order them because they were a smaller version of this look and I wanted them to look elegant and sophisticated rather than making a bigger statement. Well, that is exactly what I got. The gold color is very nice and once I decided to put one on, and got it through my chubby earlobe, it was absolutely perfect and the look I was going for. I have larger ear lobes and they still hang down enough for some movement rather than just cupping my earlobe like a true cuff. If you want this style with a more minimalist and elegant look, these are your earrings. I highly recommend them and be sure to try them on before you make a decision.

Tarnish quickly
Color: Gold Triple Huggie, Color: Gold Triple Huggie
Cute just wish they were better quality, they tarnished both on the part inside my ear and not as visibly but also on the outside, def not as shiny. I’ve had them for almost 2 months or so and the inside of my ear is turning green/ black. Like I need to use an alcohol wipe and qtip to clean the ear hole. Ive worn them almost always but I don’t wear them when I wash my hair. I wear them during my only body showers and also have in gym so maybe steam or sweat has added to moisture that tarnished it but I’m disappointed at how quick they tarnished.
