About this product
Product Information
This indelible story of a mother and daughter opens with a magical childhood on the Upper East Side of New York. At its heart is Valerie Steiker's mother, Gisèle, a Belgian Jew who, as a child, was hidden from the Nazis during World War II. As an adult, Gisèle developed a large appetite for joy, beauty, and spontaneity, tempered only by her old-world superstitions and protectiveness. The apartment on Madison Avenue where she and her husband raised two daughters overflowed with books, musical instruments, velvet-lined boxes, Gisèle's flamboyant wardrobe, and, above all, love and warmth. When Gisèle died during her daughter's junior year at Harvard, Steiker's challenge was to preserve the enveloping glow of her mother's presence even as she stepped outside of it. With grace and humor, she explores her girlhood and adolescence and the crucial growing pains of her twenties. She falls in love; she moves to Paris for a year on her own; she returns home to find her mother still absent. Layering episodes in her own life with those of her mother's, she often sees Gisèle illuminated in her own experiences. The Leopard Hatis an intimate account of loss and reconciliation, and of the unshakable bond between a mother and daughter; it is, finally, the celebration of a young woman's vivacious emergence into adulthood.

Reviews
Valerie Steiker's "The Leopard Hat" is something rare: a completely charming and winsome book about a completely serious subject -- a mother's love and her loss, and the hold that both have on her daughter's memory. Written with a lyrical brightness and exuberant delight in the details of New York hats and gloves, private schools and taxis, "The Leopard Hat" also has a genuine pathos that sends the reader back again and again to see and feel with the author. Can there be any loving daughter who won't see something of her mother in this memoir, or many readers who won't be taken by its special mixture of the high-hearted and the heart-breaking? --Adam Gopnik, author ofParis to the Moon "'The Leopard Hat' is an ode to courage, elegance and beauty. Valerie Steiker has written a compelling, sensitive book that reads fluidly and touches the heart." ---Diane von Furstenberg From the Hardcover edition.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!

No communication occurred, but I imagine it would have been as good as the rest of their customer service. Very happy with purchase, thank you very much!
