The Dressmaker's Gift by Fiona Valpy
2.0
So, this made me really angry.
The war chapters started off well, as they progressed it felt where the story should have got more interesting, the writing got weaker.
The modern day Harriet chapters were just rubbish. The desperate clutching at trying to interlink the two eras and relationships were just painful and felt they were there purely to fill out the number of pages.
Where the last 50 just felt unnecessary.
My biggest gripe? This 100 year old woman who appears to be a medical marvel. Not only is her memory supernatural for her age but her ability to relay stories of someone else's inner thoughts is almost witchcraft.
