In The Chateau Cannot be Missed!

‘In the Chateau’ is an engrossing novel which highlights the minds of women. It’s just what we need in a time when a woman’s voice is increasingly likely to be dampened or silenced altogether. As Ms. Jones writes: “the contribution of the valiant women who came to the Americas during this same period have been ignored and…are missing from the pages of history.” Too seldom are women featured as clever and supportive of other women without diminishing their own value. Perhaps most refreshing is the generous scattering of references to other works by women about women, as well as stories of women throughout history that are often left forgotten, representing an uplifting spirit at its finest.

Marjorie Jones brings every scene to life with exquisite, sumptuous descriptions that set the scene from cuisine to décor. These details never feel laborious and instead seem necessary. It is effortless to imagine oneself as a spectator in the room and a tourist sampling the many wonders and hidden secrets of Québec, both past and present. The mystery is as engrossing as the ambiance, with our heroine naturally finding mystery and intrigue as naturally as breathing. The cultural landscape of Québec is woven into the fabric of the narrative, lending a heightened realism to the narrative that inevitably sweeps the reader away and inevitably draws them in at every turn. I cannot recommend ‘In the Chateau’ highly enough!

Sleeves are too short
Size: Large, Color: Black
Good quality about as thick as heavy t shirt. The only issue is the sleeves are a tad short which is a bit disappointing. Not sure I will buy this again. I’m 5-7 175 and ordered a large and it fits well. Just a smidge oversized like I prefer.

Lightweight and comfortable
Size: X-Large, Color: Black
Lightweight yet warm. Bought an XL for my husband who is 6’ 2”, weighs about 180 lbs, and has long arms. Fits a bit loose but not too big but have to size up so the length in the arms fit better. He runs warm so dislikes anything that makes him hot, so this material was great. Did not discolor or shrink in the wash, which was a bonus.

Hubby is quite happy with this hoodie
Size: X-Large, Color: Navy
We live in warmer climes, so DH wanted a pullover hoodie that was more like t-shirt material. This is fantastic- it's like a well-made t-shirt - like a thicker, better quality tee. He loves it. The fit was just right. There was no fading in the wash - I always wash clothes in cold water though, so ymmv. He was happy with the color I chose. When cool weather rolls around again, I will add some other colors to his collection - perfect lightweight pullover for him.

Soft, good fit, but pretty light so not very warm.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
My immediate gripe with this Hoodie is it's very light. Not gonna do a lot to keep you warm, which is what I was looking for. That said, it fits will and is pretty soft. If it lasts through being washed several times it was worth the $13.60 I paid for it. I probably should have guessed at that price that it couldn't be very heavy. I've never really understood the idea of light hoodies.
