A review by roxanne_allicock
The Dressmaker's Gift by Fiona Valpy

3.0

The book felt as if it were written by two different persons in its retelling of the past events in WWII and the current experience of Harriet. It did not have a fluid engaging effect and I found myself more interested in read more of the WWII story and the life and experiences of the women of the Resistance. At times I just wanted to skip the chapters discussing Harriet's personal experiences and realizations as they were often mundane and un-necessarily drawn out. When the WWII ended and the final chapter was focused on Harriet, I had to force myself to finish the book.

Maybe you might like the book, but to be honest, Harriet as a character was boring.
