My book beginnings is taken from THE DRESSMAKER'S DOWRY by Meredith Jaeger:

"A doorman ushered me toward the historic garden court inside the Palace Hotel, the sequins on my gold shift dress catching the light.  Men in suits mingled with women in cocktail gowns.  Beneath the grand crystal chandeliers and arched glass ceiling, I felt like I'd stepped back in time to the turn of the twentieth century"

Book Finished the last three weeks:
 **********
I SEE YOU by Clare Mackintosh - review will be on February 28.

 Good, but not as good as her first book.

 
 ********** 
WINDY CITY BLUES by Renee Rosen - review will be on March 7.

 A marvelous read and a treasure for music fans and historical fiction fans.

THE MOTHER'S PROMISE by Sally Hepworth

    I haven't seen The Dressmaker's Dowry anywhere...but it sounds tempting. Thanks for sharing, and here's mine: “RIGHT BEHIND YOU”

      It is very good...goes back and forth in time. 1876 to present.

      Thanks for stopping, Laurel.

      It was suspenseful once the suspense got started. :)
