The Dressmaker's Gift by Fiona Valpy
4.0
I learned so much for The Dressmaker's Gift. I have a new understanding of why my family doesn't talk about the war and its consequences.
The author brought detail through the eyes of three girls that work as seamstresses in Occupied Paris. Gain understanding of the struggles of rationing. Feel their fears. Experience there determination.
The author tells some of the story through Harriet, the granddaughter of one of the seamstresses. We learn the story along side her. We feel when she feels. Her questions were my questions.
Forget the textbook. Read historical fiction. Understand the past. Learn form the past. Live a better tomorrow.
