_____________________________________________________________

One dress. Three women. A lifetime of secrets.

Among the cobbled streets of Frome in Somerset, Lou is about to start something new. After losing her mother, she knows it's time to take a chance and open her own vintage clothes shop.

In upstate New York, Donna receives some news about her family which throws everything she thought she knew into question. The only clue she has to unlock her past is a picture of a yellow dress.

Maggy is in her seventies, newly divorced and all alone in an empty house. Visiting the little vintage shop in Frome, with its rows of beautiful dresses, brings back cherished memories she'd long put aside.

For these three women, only by uncovering the secrets of the yellow dress can they unlock their next chapter...

Relaxing and nice to unwind to. Sweet tale. I had a sound issue with one of the narrators (Maggie) which spoilt the experience somewhat.

Lovely, easy listening

Absolutely loved the story thank you, but had to keep changing the volume for Maggie.

I nearly didn’t get this because of the low reviews for the recording quality & narration. However, I’m so glad that I went ahead and got it. Firstly it’s a lovely story that really resonated with me. The characters were all really likeable and the story was perfect, a little bit of everything sprinkled in. I found the narration lovely, I am from Frome as were my parents and their families and I felt the Somerset accents were really good, I especially liked Maggie, her accent was so familiar and comforting to me! I would definitely recommend this book on audible.

A great listen!

Maggie was so hard to listen to - constantly needed to increase the volume to be able to understand what she was saying.
Donna on the other hand was very shouty, which didn’t fit the character and was grating.
A shame because the story is great, as this author’s always are.

Great story let down by the narration

I'm glad I persevered despite wanting to give up just a few chapters in. I loved the story, but the choice to use different narrators made listening hard going. Lou was just the right volume, Maggie/Eleanor/Dotty too quiet and Donna too loud. I like to listen to audio books on car journeys but that was impossible as I had to keep adjusting the volume with each new chapter.

Story Good, Recording Awful!
