Description

New York Times bestselling author Shelley Noble wows with a gripping historical novel about the real-life “Tiffany Girls,” a fascinating and largely unknown group of women artists behind Tiffany’s most legendary glassworks.It’s 1899, and Gilded Age Manhattan is abuzz. Louis Comfort Tiffany, famous for his stained-glass windows, is planning a unique installation at the Paris World’s Fair, the largest in history. At their fifth-floor studio on Fourth Avenue, the artists of the Women’s Division of the Tiffany Glass Company are already working longer shifts to finish the pieces that Tiffany hopes will prove that he is the world’s finest artist in Tiffany glass. Known as the “Tiffany Girls,” these women are responsible for much of the design and construction of Tiffany’s extraordinary glassworks, but none receive credit.Emilie Pascal, daughter of an art forger, has been shunned in Paris art circles after the unmasking of her abusive father. Wanting nothing more than a chance to start a new life, she forges a letter of recommendation in hopes of fulfilling her destiny as an artist in the one place where she will finally be free to live her own life.Grace Griffith is the best copyist in the studio, spending her days cutting glass into floral borders for Tiffany’s religious stained-glass windows. But none of her coworkers know her secret: she is living a double life as a political cartoonist under the pseudonym of G.L. Griffith―hiding her secret identity as a woman.As manager of the women’s division, Clara Driscoll is responsible for keeping everything on schedule and within budget. But in the lead-up to the most important exhibition of her career, not only are her girls becoming increasingly difficult to wrangle, she finds herself obsessed with a new design: a dragonfly lamp that she has no idea will one day become Tiffany’s signature piece.Brought together by chance, driven by their desire to be artists in one of the only ways acceptable for women in their time, these “Tiffany Girls” will break the glass ceiling of their era and for working women to come. This compelling Gilded Age historical fiction novel set in New York City is a perfect gift for any woman interested in art, history, or strong women breaking the glass ceiling of their era.In an era that denies them credit, three fiercely talented women will come together to create some of the most iconic art of the Gilded Age, each hiding a secret that could cost them everything.

    • Fantastic book to read.
Format: Paperback
I was attracted to this book as soon as I saw it on Amazon, as I love Tiffany Glass. I have done stained glass for over forty years and love it. And have seen the four seasons panels at the Morse Museum in Florida, and they are spectacular. The details are amazing, they way she described each step, the way you have to pick out the right glass for each piece, cut it, foil it and put it on the cartoon to be soldered. Her characters are well rounded, you felt like you could see them in your head, and wanted to know what they would do next. The story unfolds so well, I could hardly put it down, took it every where I went and wanted it never to end! I recommend this highly, ... show more

    • A Very Enjoyable Read
Format: Paperback
There is much to like about The Tiffany Girls by Shelley Nobel! It had all the components that I look for in a novel: it is a well-researched, well-written historical novel that I could “be absorbed into. It is about real women whose lives and contributions to history may have been forgotten or omitted in history, and it tells their stories. I learned there was a women’s shop at Louis C. Tiffany’s New York studio, and that these women had a great hand in creating Tiffany’s pieces! I enjoyed learning more about how Tiffany’s glass windows and lamps were made and that a special glass factory was used to create special glass for him. I was also pleasantly surprised to learn that his studios also produced pottery, as well as glass vases and desk other items for lovely home products. Upon reading the descriptions of the pieces, and the Paris Exhibition, I searched online to find out more about these pieces to learn more about them and to see pictures of the pieces. This is my second book by Shelley Nobel and I look forward to reading more! In fact, I have pre-ordered her next historical novel. ... show more

    • Superb language, memorable characters and masterful plot
Format: Kindle
In 1899, Emilie Pascal, daughter of an infamous Paris art forger, escapes from her father to New York in the hope of finding a new life by joining Mr. Tiffany’s stained glass design works… just in time to join the team preparing for the following year’s Paris World Fair. The immersive, captivating story raises well above the standard of the historical romantic fiction. We live with the Tiffany girls to experience their daily joys and sorrows, learn about design and art, the mystic of colors and glass, fight with them when they need to choose between love and vocation. With its superb language, memorable characters, authentic introduction of historical environment, and masterful plot development, the novel forces the reader to fly through the pages. Several real historical figures and events give the story a highly credible air. A surprising and satisfactory ending will not come before the reader is sitting on pins and needles. The novel surpasses the standard of romantic historical fiction and leaves behind a highly satisfactory, deep reading experience, that would be remembered for a long time. ... show more

    • Art, History, Fiction, Real Life
Format: Kindle
What a delicious mix of ingredients. So many readers will enjoy this story set in Paris and New York. Women looking to not only join the work force, but to kick off their careers, rooted in their passion and thirst to fulfill their personal dreams. Some characters are based on real people, others have been combined to represent the real Tiffany Girls. I read Tiffany Girl by Deanne Gist and realized I wanted to read more about Tiffany's stained glass art. It led me to this book which has now led me to Noon at Tiffany's. The quest for more continues. ... show more

    • Great until it wasn't
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed the book, including the many details of creating the stained glass windows, until the narrative veered into fervid melodrama at the end. Thus the three stars. The details of the "girls" lives were well drawn and interesting.

    • Checked a lot of boxes for me
Format: Kindle
Having visited the Tiffany Museum in Winter Park, Florida four times, I was fascinated by photographs and descriptions of the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany and one of his female artists, Clara Driscoll. Thus, Shelley Noble’s Tiffany Girls piqued my interest. I found the 1899 backdrops of the art world in New York and Paris simply delicious—so well-drawn and different from my trilogy’s setting in Martha’s Vineyard and Kansas. This novel checked a lot of boxes for me: insight into American women (the Tiffany girls) making their way in the art world that was still customarily male; inclusion of well-known historical people; and the unusual point of view provided by Emilie, a fugitive from France. I naturally identified with Grace, a fictional character engaged in writing articles about women’s suffrage. She too, had to surmount difficulties because of her gender. Most of Noble’s plot centered on the production of one great work created by Tiffany’s studio for the Paris World’s Fair. During that same period, Clara Driscoll, who helped to manage the Tiffany girls, was simultaneously developing her dragonfly motif that was to become one of the studio’s most popular designs. I enjoyed Noble’s account of how stained glass evolves. Starting as a drawing, it proceeds through many phases: expanding into a “cartoon,” selecting pieces, placing lead lines, and the complicated shipping and display of the fragile masterpiece. Though I would have enjoyed reading more about Clara Driscoll herself, Noble’s account of unmarried women forging careers in art and journalism also kept me engaged. From reading others’ reviews, I’ve since learned that COVID-19 prevented Shelly Noble from visiting the Tiffany sites that I so enjoyed. Employing a narrow focus was an intelligent way to handle the lack of boots-on-the-ground research that the pandemic imposed on the author during the writing of this historical novel. Isn't the cover gorgeous? ... show more

    • Emilie
Format: Kindle
Emilie. A brilliant painter in a time of history that doesn’t appreciate women in the job force unless, they are single women. Emilie runs from the disgrace of her father, a forger of art. She wants her own life. She gets on a ship headed for New York City and spends her time in the cabin learning about stained glass. She wants to work for Tiffany’s Glass Company. She gets the job, and shares a room at the boarding house of other Tiffany women workers. This is a really good story that not only tells the story of Louis Comfort Tiffany but also of those that worked for him with a view of how the industry works. It also gives a view of the times and trials of women and the poor people and those that do the news reporting. Excellent! ... show more
