The Magical World of Madame Métier: A Spiritual Fairy Tale

by Daphne Rose Kingma

Madame Métier and Her Friends weaves together magic, romance, and a powerful bond of friendship in celebration of the female spirit.

Facing destitution after the untimely death of her husband, Madame Métier revisits a long-forgotten talent—the creation of healing botanical creams and lotions. Her rediscovery of this sacred practice marks the beginning of her spiritual odyssey of self-actualization and empowerment. Meanwhile, two eccentric friends of hers begin a passionate affair that ends their respective marriages. Invigorated by their relationship, Monsieur Sorbonne searches for his life’s passion while Mademoiselle Objet helps Madame Métier with her new business. While the couple explores the nuances of their romance, Madame Métier finds herself in a relationship with a mysterious being who redefines her understanding of human love. Just as things are looking up, Mme. Métier’s creams result in a customer’s death, and the three friends face an ordeal of profound doubt, spiritual crisis, and persecution that threatens to tear them apart.

Daphne Rose Kingma brings insights from her self-help books to a modern fairy tale that is both enlightening and entertaining. This is an extraordinary debut about the nature of love and relationships.

DNF with a little under 100 pgs left. I tried. Really I did. This was such a strange book. I couldn't relate to the characters in any way, the story line is odd and I was not moved or excited about any part of what i read. The reviews of this says it's like a fairytale for adults but I didn't get that at all.

Not my cup of tea.

Full of twists and turns, this magical tale is sure to delight.

very sweet, very magical - about the heart, the soul and relationships. What I didn't like though - the last half of the books was a race to the end. Should have been as slow and delightful as the first 3/4

Fulfillment...

A profound and thought provoking read. Makes me think of my own self and how because of these beautiful words, I can be a better self to others and to myself.

I enjoyed most of this book. I loved all the magical and whimsical work in the book. But I sure would have liked some receipts for the creams! The book brought you on a journey. But the last part of the book felt like the author had to finish the book. I was disappointed with that. However, overall enjoyed it.

Couldn’t finish it. Didn’t enjoy any of the characters nor saw the point of the book,

Lovely writing. It does read fast, but it's very odd. When I read spiritual in the description I expected a different kind.
