"There are three rules here, Paloma: never fall in love, never steal another man's man, and drink only vintage champagne."
Spain, the village of Fago, 1920s. Every autumn, young girls go to France for seasonal work, crossing the border on foot along the steep slopes of the Pyrenees. Young Rosa sets off on this dangerous journey with only one goal: to get a job at a shoe factory making espadrilles in the French town of Mauléon.
Her new life will become a real test for her, until fate brings her to the home of amazing women - extravagant Parisians who value freedom and chic outfits. They will help her talents unfold, give her friendship and support, so necessary in a world where men are in charge.
This novel sparkles like champagne, immersing the reader in the atmosphere of the carefree interwar years - the era of Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel and unbridled jazz.
