The Chaperone is a captivating historical novel about the woman who chaperoned the irreverent, and underage, film-star Louise Brooks to New York City during 1922 in a summer that would change them both . . . 

Drawing on the rich history of the 1920s,’30s, and beyond, Laura Moriarty’s The Chaperone illustrates how rapidly everything, from fashion and hemlines to values and attitudes, was changing during this turbulent time, and what a vast difference these changes in attitudes made for Louise Brooks, Cora Carlisle, and others like them.
