It also makes a terrific choice for tackling with a reading group. If you are a fan of historical fiction with a twist of magic, this book needs to make it onto your “must-read” list. I haven’t read anything else like this particular book, and its uniqueness alone makes it deserving of a read. It’s a rather slow-paced book, but it does pick up, and the payoff at the end makes it worth the time it takes to get there. Ultimately, it’s a story of love enduring across time and circumstances. A little romance” is actually perfect and exactly sums up her writing style. Her personal tagline of “A little history. What Barbara Davis manages to do is weave a spell that makes the magic and twists of fate feel completely plausible, even as its sets against a backdrop of one of the worst human atrocities in history. With themes of magic, mystery, and love denied for one reason or another, this book could have gone a number of ways in tone. Rory Grant is barely living ever since her fiance disappeared on a mission in Africa.Ī chance sighting of the studio and a desire to open a gallery leads Rory into Soline’s life and shakes things up in ways neither of them saw coming.
Soline Roussel made wedding dresses for her exclusive bridal salon before a fire burned down her studio and left her with hands unable to hold a needle. The story follows two women both dealing with devastating losses and heartbreak after fate keeps them from their true loves. The book unfolds across multiple timelines: both Nazi-occupied Paris during World War II in the 1940s and Boston in the 1980s. There is a reason this book deserves to be on so many must-read lists these days.
