The Dress

'This book is a wonderful read and I would definitely recommend it . . . I can't wait for the sequels' - Loubee Lou Blogs

Meet Ella and her mother Fabia Moreno who arrive in York, one cold January day, to set up their vintage dress shop.

The flamboyant Fabia wants to sell beautiful dresses to nice people and move on from her difficult past. Ella just wants to fit in. But not everyone is on their side.

Will Fabia overcome the prejudices she encounters? What's the dark secret she's hiding? And do the silk linings and concealed seams of her dresses contain real spells or is this all just 'everyday magic'?

Among the leopard-print shoes, tea-gowns and costume jewellery in Fabia's shop are many different stories - and the story of one particular dress.

Ella runs Happily Ever After, a bookshop nestled in the cobbled streets of York.

One day a strange girl comes into Ella's shop. Bryony is shy and unsure, and Ella feels a strange connection to her.
