***3 stars
This book took me a little more time to get into. I am not sure why, but once I had gotten a couple chapters along, it really pulled me in. It is an endearing story which keeps you guessing as to what exactly Phoebe is hiding. I won't go into detail as to ruin the story for you. It had great description of the beautiful vintage clothing and although I am not up to date of that sort of thing, found myself interested anyway. I really love one quote in the book about how you don't find a dress, but it finds you. Definite pleasure as I have found with many of the Wolfe books I have read.
Book Jacket Summary:
Every dress has a history and so does Phoebe....
Phoebe Swift always dreamt of opening her own vintage dress shop. She imagined every detail, from the Vivienne Westwood skirts handing next to sating gowns, to sequined prom dresses adorning the walls.
At the launch of Village Vintage, Phoebe feels the tingle of excitement as customers snap up the fairytale dresses. Her dream has come true, but a secret from her past is casting a shadow over her new venture.
Then one day she meets Therese, an elderly Frenchwoman with a collection to sell, apart from one piece that she won't part with....
As Therese tells the story of the little blue coat, Phoebe becomes aware of a profound connection with her own life, one that will help her heal the pain of her past and allow her to love again.
