SYNOPSIS
An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls.
Soline Roussel is well-schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It’s said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline’s world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget.
Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline’s old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory’s and Soline’s lives begin to surface. It’s clear that they were destined to meet—and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.
REVIEW
I “read” this story via audiobook. It was very difficult to understand because of the reader’s heavy accent. Consequently, I did not enjoy it in the slightest.

That’s the first time I’ve read a review of an audiobook that’s hard to understand. (My husband and I sometimes watch a movie with that problem, and we have to turn on the captions.) What a shame that it wasn’t more intelligible, but I have a feeling your warning will help your readers avoid some frustration, and we appreciate your honesty.

This is the second time I have had this experience. I suppose there is a way to figure it out ahead of time but I don’t know what that would be.

Audible usually has a sample of a book that can be listened to before buying, so hopefully they’re clearly available and the listeners can decide for themselves. The reason I opt for audiobooks is so I can do other things at the same time. So anything that’s too much “work” to listen to is not going to be enjoyable for me.

Thanks for the feedback on this audio book. Even though I have hearing aids, I still don’t catch everything so this would be a major problem for me.

Even though I have hearing aids, I don’t always “catch” everything. This book would be a problem for me. Thanks for the heads-up!
