It is 1944 San Francisco, and Irene has inherited the dress shop where she worked along with the apartment above.
She is nervous, but she is talented.
Irene and her friends also volunteer at USO and dance with all the servicemen that are passing through.
When Irene gets a call from a wealthy woman to re-design an old dress, it definitely helps with her business and helps her build confidence, but also makes other things happen.
THE WORLD AT HOME is a sweet, nostalgic read that has us following Irene as she succeeds, finds out secrets about her family, and falls in love.
An enjoyable, hopeful, heartfelt, heartbreaking book with great descriptions about what life was like in San Francisco for young women with some wartime romance sprinkled in. 5/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
