I enjoyed this book tremendously. I don't know much about fashion now or in the past but the descriptions of dresses was amazing. The plot line was wonderful. It had a few twists and turns that were unexpected for me. Mostly in relation to an older woman that our main characters buys some vintage clothes from for her store. The relationship that develops is so intimate. It truly crosses all boundaries. The trauma experienced by this woman as a young person during the occupation of France by the Nazis was something I wasn't expecting. The trauma of the younger woman in regard to her best friend's death and a boyfriend was such a contrast. It was really special.
