Summary

A beautifully written, sweeping historical women's fiction novel that spans both time and the globe as we follow one woman's journey from simple country girl to global fashion icon. 

I need to tell you a story, ma chère. My story.

Rosa Kusstatscher has built a global fashion empire upon her ability to find the perfect outfit for any occasion. But tonight, as she prepares for the most important meeting of her life, her usual certainty eludes her. 

What brought her to this moment? As she struggles to select her dress and choose the right shade of lipstick, Rosa begins to tell her incredible story. The story of a poor country girl from a village high in the mountains of Italy. Of Nazi occupation and fleeing in the night. Of hope and heartbreak in Switzerland; ambition, glamour and love in Paris. Of ambition and devastation in Rio de Janeiro; success and self-discovery in New York. 

A life spent running, she sees now. But she will run no longer. 

Breathtaking and utterly enthralling, The Dressmaker of Paris is a stunning debut novel that is perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley, Kate Morton and Dinah Jefferies.

Fascinating

A very moving and gripping story and beautifully read . It is probably more for the girls , but not a ‘chic flick’

Good story, excellently narrated

I enjoyed the story of Rosa and her journey from one continent to another and her interactions with each of the characters. I liked the way that Rosa stayed true to herself and that she didn’t assume the personality of the time she was living in. The narrator brought the characters to life and created vivid images of each of them in my mind. I recommend this audiobook.

Very enjoyable holiday story

Very well done, interesting story that kept me engaged. Narrated beautifully.

Repetition of “ma chère” was a bit laboured to my mind but I enjoyed the story.
