    Timeless Style

    What a lovely book! Somehow the French expression of Caribbean syle manages to transcend a rigid period look, making it feel timeless, graceful, and ever so appealing. This book is gorgeous, interesting, and will make you long to feel the caress of a Caribbean breeze as it rustles through the palms. Intoxicating.

    Timeless Style

    This book is gorgeous, and an interesting read too. The French islands manage to express Colonial West Indian style in a way that feels timeless and stylish, rather than rigidly period. Page after page, I was transported to a place of beauty and elegance, and could almost feel the touch of a soft tropical breeze russling through the palms.

    Another Winner

    Having read Dr. Connors' previous books, Caribbean Elegance and Cuban Elegance, I looked forward to French Island Elegance. I was not dissapointed. Once again Dr.Connors has provided us with a well-researched and easily readable narrative accompanied by Bruce Buck's sumptuous photographs. The two of them have developed into a winning team. French Island Elegance will not only look great on anyone's coffee table, but is a wonderful resource on a subject that heretofore has had none.
