Take a journey and immerse yourself in this year's most irresistible read. Perfect for fans of Kathryn Hughes, Suzanne Goldring and The Paris Seamstress.

To unravel that long-lost summer, she had to follow the thread...

Florence Connelly is broken hearted. Her marriage has collapsed under the weight of the loss she shares with her husband, and her beloved grandmother has just died. Even the joy she found in dressmaking is gone.

But things change when Flo opens a box of vintage 1960s dress patterns found inside her grandmother's wardrobe. Inside each pattern packet is a fabric swatch, a postcard from Europe and a photograph of a mysterious young woman, Nancy Moon, wearing the hand-made dress.

Flo discovers that Nancy was a distant relation who took the boat train to Paris in 1962 and never returned. With no one to stay home for, Flo decides to follow Nancy's thread. She unravels an untold story of love and loss in her family's past. And begins to stitch the pieces of her own life back together.

Fabulous reading

Wow what an amazing book. Being a sewer I certainly appreciated all the detail that went into the story of Nancy and Flo. Those gorgeous dresses that were recreated by Flo. Definitely a challenge to this day. They just don’t have the gorgeous fabrics that were available back in the sixties as well as the notions. Bring back the sixties, those gorgeous dresses and outfits that made a statement. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire book. Well written with so much detail, and twists.
