Helpful Score: 1

Good historical fiction. About the embroiderers who made Queen Elizabeth II's wedding dress. Interesting facts about the dress and the designer and embroidering. Also interesting about living in London post WWII when, even though the war was over, it was still hard times with rationing, coal shortages, etc. This was all told with two fictional characters, one an English woman apprenticed at 14 to be an embroiderer and the other a Jewish woman who survived Ravensbruck and came to England for a fresh start as an embroiderer - their lives and loves then and moving forward to their grandchildren. Good story.
