The Secret Lives of Dresses
by Erin McKean
I adored this book! I even misunderstood what it was going to be about and still adored it!
I thought it was going to be dress-centric rather than people-centric. But no--It's about a granddaughter who comes back home to visit her grandmother in the hospital. She ends up keeping the grandmother's store running for a time, with the help of a couple of her grandmother's colorful and amusing friends. And, oh! What she discovers!
It's sweet but never sappy, full of people you either love or want to punch out, and it's even a bit mystical. Vintage clothing has a past, you know. Like adopting an adult dog--you end up with some really odd behaviors that you can't much explain...you can only wonder.
