Reading this book is like drinking a big glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day. It is that refreshing!
The book centers around three ladies: Grace, Violet and her aunt Cressida. Cressida is a well-known fashion designer who has devoted her life to her craft. When a bomb destroys her studio and her home in London, she seeks refuge in the English countryside in her ancestral home. Her nephew is now the lord of the manor and her niece Violet also lives there. There are several more minor characters, but they all contribute very nicely to the story. The group comes together during WW2 when fabric is rationed, Grace is getting married and discovered her mother's wedding dress is moth-eaten. Can they save Grace's dress? What will it mean to the community?
This is a heart-warming story about family, friendship and the true meaning of life. Don't miss this one!
