Spain, the village of Fago, the 1920s. Every year, young girls go to France for seasonal work, crossing the border on foot along the steep slopes of the Pyrenees Mountains. Young Rosa embarks on this dangerous journey with only one goal: to get a job at a shoe factory for sewing espadrilles in the French town of Mauleon. Her new life will be a real challenge for her until fate brings her to the home of amazing women — extravagant Parisians who appreciate freedom and chic outfits. They will help reveal her talents, give her the friendship and support that are so necessary in a world where men run everything. This novel sparkles like champagne, immersing the reader in the atmosphere of the carefree interwar years — the era of Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel and unrestrained jazz.
