We are all looking forward to the summer already (Yeah, I'm bored of these wet cold days and nights) but to pass the time I love curling up on the sofa with a good book to read. I was brought this book by a friend, who thought it was funny as I'm a girl who owns MANY dresses, therefore she thought this book would suit me.
Dora is in love with a man who barely notices
her, has a job she doesn't care about, and dresses
entirely for comfort, not style. All a far cry from
her vivid, eccentric childhood, growing up with
her beloved grandmother Mimi.
However, when disaster strikes, Dora knows
she has no choice but to return to her childhood
home and take over running Mimi's vintage clothing
shop. And there she makes a surprise discovery -
Mimi's been writing stories to accompany every dress
she sells. Romantic, heartbreaking tales about each
one's secret life before it got to her shop...
Dora starts to matchmake these lonely frocks
with new owners, but will the stories help her as
well? Trading her boring high street clothes for
vintage glamour is one thing. What she needs to
know is whether she can trade her safe old life
- and love - for something better too?
My friend may of thought this book would be a bit of a joke with its title and the fact that the main character is call Dora, which is close to my real name. However, it was a book I really enjoyed reading. Clothes and Love mixed together, what more could i ask for? A lovely story about a young girl dealing with the loss of her Grandmother, trying to cope without her, but also understanding her love of vintage clothes. An endearing story to read and share with others. Therefore if you are looking for a new read, why not pick up a copy of this book.
Love Lolly
