Historia
Surviving on the streets of Paris as an artist's model had been difficult, but Laura wanted to be remembered on canvas, as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings had been immortalized. In another place and time, Laura's alliance with the rich and powerful of Paris might have cost her head. However, this was 21st-century France, where the rich and the poor had learned to negotiate tolerance.

A character study
Revisado: 07-30-19
This experience was outside my comfort zone, since I usually read fast-paced crime novels these days. Also, I am a fast reader and there is no way to speed up the read when a narrator sets the pace.
The characterisation is excellent and were I only being asked to rate that feature alone, I'd have rated the book highly. Unfortunately, the repetitive nature of the writing made the story tough going at times. Often, I felt like I was falling asleep at the wheel. The final chapters were, however, well-written and most enjoyable.
I was asked particularly to review the narrator and I'd have to say his voice is clear with a lovely deep tone. However, if I am being honest, he made the book sound boring, more so that it actually was, I thought. I honestly fell asleep several times, lulled by the monotone speech.
I am positive I'd have enjoyed the book far more had I read it on a kindle or in paperback.
But, I must add, I am very glad I was asked to try an audible book for the first time in my life....I know to avoid them in the future and stick to my usual page-turning...
