cgallenorr 's review for:
The Keeper of Happy Endings
by Barbara Davis
I love this book so much!
I don’t remember how I found this book, but I was looking for something to read after a DNF, and I found this in my collection.
It alternates between two perspectives and time periods. The first is that if Soline, a French woman who worked with her mother making dresses for brides up until the Nazi invasion in France. There is a fantastical element in that they worked charms into the dresses to ensure the happiness of the couples getting married. Once the Nazis invade France, Soline works as a hospital volunteer caring for wounded soldiers. There she meets and falls in love with Anson, an ambulance driver. When the war separates them, Soline begins a new life in the United States.
The second perspective is that if Rory, a woman in the 1980s whose fiancée went missing months before. When Rory stumbles upon a building that seems to be calling to her, and decides to turn it into an art gallery, her story becomes intertwined with Soline’s.
There are elements in this book that are definitely unlikely, but I didn’t mind suspending my beliefs to enjoy this story. This book is incredible, and one of my new favorites.
