A "breathtaking" century-spanning portrait of the inhabitants of a French village (Jennifer Egan), revealing the deception, despair, love, and longing beneath the calm surface of ordinary lives.

What if our homes could tell the stories of others who lived there before us? Set in a small village near Paris, The Balcony follows the inhabitants of a single estate-including a manor and a servants' cottage-over the course of several generations, from the Belle v poque to the present day, introducing us to a fascinating cast of characters. A young American au pair develops a crush on her brilliant employer. An ex-courtesan shocks the servants, a Jewish couple in hiding from the Gestapo attract the curiosity of the neighbors, and a housewife begins an affair while renovating her downstairs. Rich and poor, young and old, powerful and persecuted, all of these people are seeking something: meaning, love, a new beginning, or merely survival.

Throughout, cross-generational connections and troubled legacies haunt the same spaces, so that the rose garden, the forest pond, and the balcony off the manor's third floor bedroom become silent witnesses to a century of human drama.

In her debut, Jane Delury writes with masterful economy and profound wisdom about growing up, growing old, marriage, infidelity, motherhood - in other words, about life - weaving a gorgeous tapestry of relationships, life-altering choices, and fleeting moments across the frame of the twentieth century. A sumptuous narrative of place that burrows deep into individual lives to reveal hidden regrets, resentments, and desires, The Balcony is brimming with compassion, natural beauty, and unmistakable humanity.

Leaves skin clean and soft
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Leaves skin clean and soft and much to my surprise did not make my skin break out even though more traditional cleansers often do. This is a really nice product, better than more expensive department store brands I've tried.

Amazing product that I continue to order again and again!
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Amazing product that I continue to order again and again! I love the formula of this product! It is perfect for using as a first wash to gently remove makeup or dirt build up before washing with another cleanser. It is great for people with dry skin or if you wear a lot of powder makeup or powder on top of foundation, and it is great for removing mascara and heavy eye makeup as well. It is great for sensitive skin, and I feel like it is super gentle & made with clean ingredients. Bioderma is a brand I trust, and this is a product I will continue to restock!

On My 5th Bottle – That Says It All
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my fifth bottle of Bioderma Sensibio Micellar Cleansing Oil, and that alone should say how much I love it. It removes makeup effortlessly, including stubborn mascara and long-wear products, without irritating my skin. The formula feels gentle and nourishing, not heavy or greasy. It rinses clean and leaves my skin feeling soft and balanced rather than stripped. I appreciate that it works well even on sensitive skin and doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. It has become a staple in my routine, and I keep repurchasing because it consistently delivers. Highly recommend if you want an effective yet gentle cleansing oil that truly works.

Ideal for double cleansing
Size: 4.98 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Removes makeup and sunscreen just fine, although it doesn’t remove my nyx eyeliner. Does not foam, turns into a milky texture. Leaves a slignt oil film over the skin after removing with water, warm water seems to remove it a little better. I don’t mind too much since it’s the first step to my nightly double cleanse, I go over with another cleanser after. I like that it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight after.
