About this product

Product Information

How will history - and their families - judge them? Paris, 1940. With the city occupied by the Nazis, three young seamstresses go about their normal lives as best they can. But all three are hiding secrets. War-scarred Mireille is fighting with the Resistance, Claire has been seduced by a German officer, and Vivienne's involvement is something she can't reveal to either of them. Two generations later, Claire's English granddaughter Harriet arrives in Paris, rootless and adrift, desperate to find a connection with her past. Living and working in the same building on the Rue Cardinale, she learns the truth about her grandmother - and - 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?

A book all should read
A fascinating book in lots of ways. Sad, happy and historically. How the lives and friendships of ordinary people make such a difference. Just loved it.

The Dressmaker’s Gift
We are so lucky that women, like Mireille, Claire and Vivienne, did what they did. A great way of bringing history to life.
