Synopsis
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 surprising 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 start 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?

J'ai adoré la boutique de vêtements et la vie secrète des robes qui y sont vendues. J'ai trouvé cette partie du scénario très originale mais j'aurais aimé en voir plus. C'est globalement mon ressenti à la fin de ce livre, j'aurais aimé que les personnages et la romance soient un peu plus développés. Je recommande quand même si lire en anglais ne vous fait pas peur (le livre n'a jamais été traduit)
