Cinderella's Dress

De: Shonna Slayton

Narrado por: Catherine Gaffney

On the home front in 1944, Kate wants to do her part for the war effort. She'd prefer filling in for the window dressers at the New York department store where she works, but her mother insists on sending her to audition for roles she never gets. When relatives arrive from war-torn Poland with a mysterious steamer trunk and an even more mysterious story, her life is about to hit center stage.

Kate's elderly aunt claims she is the keeper of the wardrobe for Cinderella's family--the real Cinderella. Her responsibility is to keep the dress safe, and now she wants Kate's help. But the war has taken a toll on Kate's aunt, and nothing is as it seems. While navigating family and first love, Kate will have to uncover layers of family secrets as her own secrets stack up. Will she get to the truth before it's forgotten?

If you like the nostalgia of a historical novel and the sweet romance of a fairy-tale retelling, then you'll love this continuation of the Cinderella story. Pick it up today.

The Fairy-Ttale Inheritance Series can be listened to in any order, aside from the Cinderella books (listen to Dress first).

Loved this book!

I loved this book!! It was so neat to hear this story told in a different way. I really enjoyed it and the narrator was very good!

Charming, interesting, elevated

I love listening and being swept into another era but one that I can still relate too! The clothes, the people their stories. Nicely done.

Such a fun story

I really enjoyed the mix of history and fairy tale that told us the rest of the story. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

Loved it!

I really enjoyed this book! It was very cleaver and entertaining! I love to read stories that provide in-depth accounts of the before, after and backstories! My mind is always thinking about the characters, even the minor ones, and what their life is about or how they affect the story. Good job - can’t wait to read or listen to the next 5 by the author! I also love this narrator - she is superb! ❤️

Cinderella’s Dress Isn’t It

I listened to this book for book club with my best friend. This was her pick for the month of April. It’s so bad I’m almost willing to dissolve the friendship. She’s banned from picking books for the foreseeable future. I’m kidding, of course, but this book is trash. Kate is a selfish, self obsessed little girl. I was angry with her and her poor decision making skills for the entirety of the book. She showed little to no care for anyone other than herself. In my opinion. Kate doesn’t deserve her position or the dresses. I won’t be finishing this series. The narration was pleasant.
