___________________

Paris, 1789. The Oberst Factory, which crafts exquisite wallpaper for the most fashionable French homes, is a place shrouded in mystery. Most enigmatic is the woman pictured in each of its prints, rumoured to be the late Mrs Oberst, who died in peculiar circumstances.

When sisters Lara and Sofi arrive there for work, they quickly form a friendship with Josef Oberst, the motherless heir to the factory. Whilst Sofi's political fervour intensifies, Lara is disturbed by the uncanny way her life appears mirrored in the wallpaper. Meanwhile Hortense, Josef's spoilt aristocratic wife, is similarly unnerved by the scenes that line the walls of her new home. With the mobs growing ever more violent, is she in danger of meeting the same untimely end as the last Mrs Oberst?

As revolution blazes across France, the lives of Sofi, Lara and Hortense are set to collide in unimaginable and irrevocable ways. Can they change what lies ahead, or are some patterns destined to be repeated?

Incredible Story and Superbly Read

Lora Jones Debut novel - The Woman in the Wallpaper is an incredible read, set during the French Revolution and following the lives of three women interwoven, each with their own impression of the world around them and each with a compelling story to tell. The narrative of each of these women is written in the first-person perspective a style of writing I enjoy reading. The novel is one of those books that’s difficult to put down and so took me about 8 hours to read.
You will not be disappointed with this incredible story, the narrative at times feels almost poetic and you will care for the characters portrayed.
This book is a blend of history, beauty, love, rivalry, pain, loss and so much more ❤️😊
