A search for Dior Dresses from the 1950's - how fun would that be?
Louise makes a trip to Paris on her grandmother's request to find a certain dress, but it turns into a trip to search for eight other dresses.
What she finds is someone to help her, personal notes that accompany the dresses, secrets her Grandmother Sylvie kept all these years, and of course, the gorgeous, interesting dresses that have stories of their own.
We then go back in time and meet Alice Ainsley in 1952 who is the ambassador's wife and who also has gorgeous Dior dresses and a wonderful confidante for a maid, and a husband who is not who he appeared to be. He is cold, and she is lonely.
The loneliness leads to her visiting with a young man named Antoine.
Louise's chase to find the dresses leads to finding her grandmother's secrets, a love interest for her, and a longer stay and return to Paris.
Those readers who love Paris, who love fashion, the 1950's, and visiting with characters with complicated relationships will want to read this book.
A very enjoyable read with a bit of a mystery as grandmother’s life is unraveled. 5/5
This book was given to me by the publisher for an honest review.
Great review.
