About the Book:
Mona Awad’s Rouge is a dazzling and unsettling modern fairy tale that peels back the glamorous façade of the beauty industry to reveal something deeply twisted beneath.
Belle has always been consumed by her obsession with skincare and the promise of perfection. But when her estranged mother, Noelle, dies under mysterious circumstances, Belle returns to Southern California, only to be confronted with mounting debts, unsettling questions about her mother’s life, and an enigmatic woman in red who seems to know more than she lets on. A cryptic video leads Belle to La Maison de Méduse, a seductive and elite spa her mother once frequented, where beauty is both a promise and a curse. As Belle is drawn deeper into its mesmerizing rituals, she begins to unravel the terrifying secret behind the mirrors—and the darkness they reflect.
Blending gothic horror, dark humor, and biting social commentary, Rouge is a spellbinding exploration of vanity, envy, grief, and the complicated love between mothers and daughters. A hypnotic, blood-tinged fever dream, this novel is Snow White reimagined through the lens of obsession and decay, holding up a mirror to our collective fixation on youth, perfection, and the perilous cost of both.
