This Book is a story of story telling told well.I am a seamstress and love how dress making and fashion is sewn thru the story.It shows well the  everyday magic of making clothing and how the right dress or attitude or wordcan affect a persons whole life. & how the caring of one little shop can revive a whole village.It portrays well the dilemmas faced by moving to somewhere new and learninghow to interface what you are with what you are becoming.It is not limited to the growth of a girl thru adolescence but includes her motherslearning of coming to grips with her past and not being afraid to be her self as well.One comes of age the other becomes fully herself shedding her fears.I love the book and found it inspiring and wonder what words I willincorporate in my next sewing project.
