The Dressmaker's Gift by Fiona Valpy
5.0
Absolutely loved this book.
From the significance of the charms on the bracelet to the past events that the books returns to during the war it's brilliant.
It's such a harrowing but heart warming story of love, friendship strength and family. Harriet visiting Paris and working where her Grandmother did during the war is such a lovely connection.
I loved following both Claire and her friends, and Harriet and hers. They both have such determination with life and are so alike. Harriet has seen loss too often and I don't think her father knew what to do so didn't do much.
There were occasions in the book that I also linked with Cilkas journey by Heather Morris, as Cilka too was a strong determined person during the war. The Dress makers gift is wonderful and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
When Claire found Ernest in La Louvre I could not believe it, but I'm also glad that she found out because she could have carried on not knowing and it would have been even harder to overcome.
I will definitely ready more by this author and recommend this to all I know.
