Living and working in the same building on the Rue Cardinale, she learns the truth about her grandmother – and herself – and unravels a family history that is darker and more painful than she ever imagined.In wartime, the three seamstresses face impossible choices when their secret activities put them in grave danger. Brought together by loyalty, threatened by betrayal, can they survive history’s darkest era without being torn apart?Book The Dressmaker's Gift Review :
This novel follows other modern historical fiction trends: the modern-day character, Harriet, finds an old photograph in box that shows her grandmother as a young lady with two other girls, and Harriet then makes it her goal to uncover the past of her familial history concerning her grandmother, Claire.The first chapter was very cliché. Harriet moves to Paris obtaining a job in the same building that her grandmother, Claire, worked in. And, she settles in the same apartment that her grandmother lived in. And, Harriet’s roommate in that apartment happens to be the granddaughter of one of the girls in the picture who also lived in that same apartment. But the story does get better and becomes entertaining.The synopsis provided is accurate, for the most part. The three seamstresses in 1940, Claire (Harriet’s grandmother), Mireille, and Vivienne, live together in a small apartment and slowly develop a trusted friendship. Their involvement with the resistance is mostly limited to courier, depending on the character, though they do assistant in helping people out of German-occupied France to safety. With none of them being Jewish, the Jew’s oppression is merely a backdrop in the story and is only mentioned occasionally. It does provide some insight into Flossenburg camp, not as a Jew but as a traitor.I did not enjoy Harriet’s chapters as much. They seemed like “fillers” and at times the story could be followed easily without having read some of Harriet’s chapters. However, her chapters are not long, so it is bearable. In Harriet’s chapters she mostly recounts the previous chapter of what was revealed to her about her grandmother. She also struggles to cope with the loss of her mother to suicide, and frequently Harriet questions if she has inherited trauma genes.Overall, I liked the story and found it to be a light, quick, average read that at times intensified. It focused on the girl’s relationship development and their work as a seamstress in Nazi-occupied Paris until approximately 45% (on a Kindle). The plot then heightens again at 61 % (on a Kindle). It does have interesting tidbits of historical information lightly sprinkled here and there.There are an abundance of fashion references and scenes related to the Paris fashion industry. There were no sex scenes, use of vulgar language, or explicit violence.3.5 stars all at the same time, make “The Dressmaker’s Gift” a rare jewel of historical fiction. Fiona Valpy draws the reader completely into this world of couture, family and friendship by way of her ability to write extraordinary prose. There are too many examples to single out just one. I just spent 30 minutes trying!Each chapter is titled with a heading that denotes either a date during WWll or Harriet. This technique of alternating between two time periods is deftly handled with the current leading way to the historical to solve the mystery. I’ll admit that very early on there’s a scene where a consequence was so convenient I tho’t this story might be a contrived farce but it nothing could be further from that erroneous conclusion!All of the women in this story are magnificent. They have strength, character and heart as well as a purpose, for which they will go to any length to see accomplishment. How the relationships are woven together and the friendships build throughout the course of the pages is beautiful.There are no warnings needed for language or sexual content. Because a fair portion of the story takes place at interment camps, there are difficult chapters to read. None of that writing is gratuitous, in fact it honors the women and focuses on their relationship.The theme of couture and sewing does play a role that runs thru the story, a thread, if you will, helping to make “The Dressmaker’s Gift” a literary gift to all📚 Read Online The Dressmaker's Gift Download The Dressmaker's Gift The Dressmaker's Gift PDF The Dressmaker's Gift Mobi Free Reading The Dressmaker's Gift Download Free Pdf The Dressmaker's Gift PDF Online The Dressmaker's Gift Mobi Online The Dressmaker's Gift Reading Online The Dressmaker's Gift Read Online Fiona Valpy Download Fiona Valpy Fiona Valpy PDF Fiona Valpy Mobi Free Reading Fiona Valpy Download Free Pdf Fiona Valpy PDF Online Fiona Valpy Mobi Online Fiona Valpy Reading Online Fiona ValpyBest The Golden Khan: An edge-of-the-seat epic adventure (Georgia Lee Book 2) By A.
