The enchanting new novel from the bestselling author of A Question of Love and Rescuing Rose Phoebe adores clothes that have a rich personal history and runs her own vintage dress shop in a small London community that attracts an eclectic mix of customers. At the age of thirty-six and without any children, Phoebe is feeling the growing pangs of loneliness. Her parents have divorced, leaving her mother suddenly obsessed with preserving her youth through cosmetic surgery, and her father marrying a woman even younger than Phoebe. True, everlasting love it seems, is hard to find. Then one day, a beautiful elderly woman comes into the shop clutching a breathtaking but unworn dress. As Phoebe begins to befriend the woman, she unravels the mystery of the dress and along the way, discovers some home truths of her own!
