Description
Set in postwar London and the present day, this richly woven historical novel follows the women who create the spectacular wedding gown for Princess Elizabeth’s 1947 marriage—and the generations shaped by its hidden story. At the heart of the tale are two embroiderers whose friendship is forged amid rationing, sacrifice, and the lingering scars of war, alongside a young woman decades later determined to uncover the truth about her grandmother’s past. Moving between eras, the novel explores friendship, resilience, love, memory, and the enduring power of craftsmanship. Evocative and meticulously researched, it offers a poignant portrait of ordinary women connected to an extraordinary moment in history.
