Thank you TLC Book Tours for gifting me a copy of The Gown in exchange for an honest review.
It is no secret that Historical Fiction is my favorite genre to read and The Royal Family are my favorite people to obsess over. So, of course, I would have to read The Gown, a fictionalized account of the Norman Hartwell's fashion house as they created Princess Elizabeth's wedding gown in 1947. The story focuses on Ann Hughes and Miriam Dessin, two young girls working for Mr. Hartwell. The story jumps ahead in time to Heather MacKenzie and her quest to understand more about the beloved woman she called "Nan." Her journey takes her to London and discover more about her grandmother.
I absolutely loved this book. Loved the history, loved the fashion, loved the characters. It was the perfect read for HF lovers.
