Publisher Description

For readers of Lilac Girls and The Nightingale comes an internationally bestselling World War II novel that spans generations, crosses oceans, and proves just how much two young women are willing to sacrifice for love and family.

1940: As the Germans advance upon Paris, young seamstress Estella Bissette is forced to flee everything she's ever known. She's bound for New York City with her signature gold dress, a few francs, and a dream: to make her mark on the world of fashion.

Present day: Fabienne Bissette journeys to the Met's annual gala for an exhibit featuring the work of her ailing grandmother - a legend of women's fashion design. But as Fabienne begins to learn more about her beloved grandmother's past, she uncovers a story of tragedy, heartbreak and family secrets that will dramatically change her own life.

StephiSings ,

Wonderful epic tale of family legacy of secrets, romance, intrigue, and

I enjoyed the story line immensely and the creativity of the interweaving of the famous Evelyn Nesbitt and Harry Thaw scandals. The detailing of fashions and construction was interesting. The narrator was excellent- multitudes of accents & also gender delineation. A wonderful depiction of the strength of women and their perseverance!

Not my favorite

I am a fan of this author having read a good portion of her books and enjoyed them all. This one lacked character development and connectivity between characters. I was lost at times trying to pull the pieces together. Definitely not her best work.
