Tiffany Girl

May 1, 2015
For Florence Flossie Jayne, it isn't just a job, but rather the opportunity of a lifetime. Flossie can't believe her luck when she begins working for Louis Comfort Tiffany, who desperately needs help finishing his glass chapel, which is scheduled to debut at the Chicago World's Fair. Flossie is certain that working with Tiffany will not only help launch her own career as an artist, but also allow her to finally move out of her family home. What Flossie doesn't expect is that her fellow boarders will be such an eclectic mix, nor that one in particular, newspaper reporter Reeve Wilder, would be so dead set against the idea of the economically independent New Woman. Christy Awardwinning Gist (Fair Play, 2014) deftly threads sweet charm, heartwarming romance, and gentle humor through the plot of her latest engaging historical, while the fascinating details she provides about the Tiffany studios and the struggle for women artists to receive equal opportunities will also appeal to fans of Susan Vreeland's Clara and Mr. Tiffany (2011).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
