About this listen
A sweeping dual-narrative love story sweeping from 1950s Paris to the V&A Museum in London, told through eight couture dresses that reunite three generations of women.
Each Dior dress tells a story....
London, 2017. When her beloved grandmother, Sylvie, sends her to Paris to retrieve a dress she wore decades before, Lucille sees the perfect opportunity to briefly escape the pressures of her own life. But not everything is as it seems, and the long-buried secrets she discovers, hidden in a collection of priceless Dior gowns, could change everything.
Paris, 1952. Post-war France is full of glamour and privilege, and Alice Ainsley is in the middle of it all. As the wife to the British ambassador to France, her life is a whirlwind of jewels, banquets and couture dresses, but beneath the glittering façade, Alice is suffocating in a loveless marriage. So when a new face appears in her drawing room, Alice finds herself yearning to follow her heart...no matter the consequences.
Deliciously evocative and achingly romantic, sweeping from '50s Paris to the V&A museum in London, The Last Dress from Paris is the perfect story for fans of Natasha Lester, Fiona Valpy and Gill Paul.

Critic reviews
"A delightful fashion treasure hunt involving some of my favorite Dior gowns made this book a winner for me! The present day and 1950s narratives weave seamlessly together, the dresses dance from the pages, and Paris is resplendently depicted." (Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Secret)
Not my usual taste. All a bit too Mills and Boon with ‘twists’ you could see coming a mile off.
Saccharine sweet and predictable
