After her grandmother's death, Hadley Freeman seeks to understand Sala Glass, a European expat in America whose life remained largely a mystery. Sala, known for her reserved nature and French influences, survived a tumultuous era but never spoke of her experiences. A shoebox of her cherished belongings sparks a decade-long quest for Hadley to uncover their significance and the extraordinary lives of Sala and her three brothers. This journey takes her from Picasso's archives in Paris to a hidden room in Auvergne, Long Island, and Auschwitz. By piecing together letters, photos, and an unpublished memoir, Hadley reveals the full story of the Glass siblings for the first time: Alex, a fashion couturier and friend of Dior and Chagall; Jacques, a brave patriot; and Henri, who hid in occupied France. Each sibling made remarkable efforts to survive during World War II. Alongside their acts of courage in Vichy France, Hadley uncovers her grandmother's quieter yet equally heroic form of self-sacrifice. This poignant memoir traces the Glass siblings' experiences throughout the twentieth century, exploring themes of assimilation, identity, and home—issues that resonate deeply today.

Der unverzichtbare Leitfaden von A wie Accessoires bis V wie Vintage In diesem amüsanten Buch trennt die preisgekrönte Modekolumnistin Hadley Freeman mit Witz, Charme und Geschmack die Spreu vom Weizen in Sachen Mode und zeigt, dass man sich durchaus in eine It-Bag verlieben kann ohne notwendigerweise den IQ eines It-Girls zu haben. Auf unterhaltsame Art beschreibt sie, wie man Shorts trägt, ohne wie ein Statist in Hamlet auszusehen, warum Botox wie Kokain ist und weshalb nur Harfenistinnen Samt tragen sollten. Vor allem aber zeigt sie, dass man weder dünn noch jung, groß oder reich sein muss, um Spaß an Mode zu haben - man braucht lediglich eine gesunde Portion Humor.
The dictionary Anna Wintour might keep in her desk drawer Miuccia Prada said, “Everyone who is smart says they hate fashion. . . . I have asked many super-serious people, ‘Then why is fashion so popular?’ Nobody can answer that question.” Now the author of the popular Guardian column Ask Hadley does just that in The Meaning of Sunglasses, examining the joys, silliness, and occasional insanity of our love affair with fashion. From (B) Botox— “when fashion meets Logan’s Run”—to the joys of (V) vanity, Hadley Freeman has written an encyclopedia of lightly philosophical and instructional mini-essays to gladden the heart of everyone with a slight-to-obsessive interest in the fashion world. In a tone both exasperated and affectionate she dissects our love-hate relationship with the way we look (and offers some tips on how to look better). With a razor-sharp wit that lives somewhere between The Devil Wears Prada and The Devil’s Dictionary, Freeman is a versatile and exciting new voice.
