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

3.0

15 yr old me would have loved this book. However, there would just too many coincidences and things fitting together perfectly for me now. Harriet felt a bit like an author self-insert. It felt like Harriet’s thought process on her mother’s death was a regurgitation of a single article on inherited trauma. As a result, the way suicide was presented and discussed in the book left me uneasy.
