The Chaperone is a New York Times-bestselling novel about
the woman who chaperoned an irreverent Louise Brooks to New York
City in the 1920s and the summer that would change them both.
Only a few years before becoming a famous silent-film star and
an icon of her generation, a fifteen-year-old Louise Brooks
leaves Wichita, Kansas, to study with the prestigious Denishawn
School of Dancing in New York. Much to her annoyance, she is
accompanied by a thirty-six-year-old chaperone, who is neither
mother nor friend. Cora Carlisle, a complicated but traditional
woman with her own reasons for making the trip, has no idea what
she’s in for. Young Louise, already stunningly beautiful and
sporting her famous black bob with blunt bangs, is known for her
arrogance and her lack of respect for convention. Ultimately,
the five weeks they spend together will transform their lives
forever.
Characters: 62. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
