"An endearing story of loss and recovery, mystery and memory,
heartache and love...completely captivating."—Shelley Noble, New
York Times bestselling author of The Tiffany Girls and The Colony Club
A missing husband and a dress once owned by Princess Diana set two
very different women on paths of discovery that will change both their
lives forever in this dazzling new novel from the author of The Last
Dress from Paris. England, 2018: Jayne is quiet. She keeps to herself
and has no grand expectations for her days. But after a chance
encounter with her elderly neighbor, Meredith, Jayne is forced to
reevaluate her determination to keep the world at a distance.
Meredith's dust-covered home is chaotic and neglected. And slowly,
Jayne starts to grasp that Meredith herself is quite lost. She can't
seem to remember anything: what she last ate, when she last went out
or saw her daughter, or even Jayne's name, despite what are becoming
frequent visits. But most alarmingly, Meredith can't remember where
her husband is. Unable to sit by and watch Meredith hurting, Jayne
promises she'll find William. But how can she when the biggest clue
Jayne has is a mystery itself: a stunning couture gown with a note
declaring it a personal gift to Meredith...from Princess Diana.
England, 1988: Meredith is always calm. You have to be when working
for one of the most iconic women in the world. Just as the stitches
she uses to create Princess Diana’s wardrobe are steady and stable,
so is Meredith. Until she finds herself feeling off-kilter and
untethered by an unexpected connection with someone in the workshop.
As Meredith finds herself swept up in life and love for the first
time, everything she’s ever dreamed about seems in reach…if only
she can be brave enough to take it. "A moving exploration into how
clothes make up the layers of our lives, as well as a wonderful
insight into the worlds of dressmaking, royalty and friendship across
generations."—Jessica Fellowes, international bestselling author of
The Mitford Murders
