Acerca de esta escucha

Since her parents’ mysterious deaths many years ago, scientist Cora Sparks has spent her days in the safety of her university lab or at her grandmother Etta’s dress shop. Tucked away on a winding Cambridge street, Etta’s charming tiny store appears quite ordinary to passersby, but the colorfully vibrant racks of beaded silks, delicate laces, and jewel-toned velvets hold bewitching secrets: With just a few stitches from Etta’s needle, these gorgeous gowns have the power to free a woman’s deepest desires.

Etta’s dearest wish is to work her magic on her granddaughter. Cora’s studious, unromantic eye has overlooked Walt, the shy bookseller who has been in love with her forever. Determined not to allow Cora to miss her chance at happiness, Etta sews a tiny stitch into Walt’s collar, hoping to give him the courage to confess his feelings to Cora. But magic spells - like true love - can go awry. After Walt is spurred into action, Etta realizes she's set in motion a series of astonishing events that will transform Cora’s life in extraordinary and unexpected ways.

This book was so sweet, and well narrated. Not particularly deep, but doesn't sacrifice good writing for that charming simplicity found in so many books coming out of UK.

So charmingly British!

Lovely book. Preferred Menna's first book The House at the End of Hope St. But this was still charming. Be joyed the narrators voice.

Charming

I loved the author’s imagery. I could see all the colors and I felt immersed in her world. I could listen to this narrator all day.

Wonderful!

A good story!! I liked the story. I don't think it lagged anywhere. My only complaint would be that the ending was pretty transparent--I had it figured out pretty early, but I still enjoyed getting there.
The narration was awesome!!

Good Story! Great Narrator!! with a little magic

It’s very hard for me to review a book that was just okay. It was a sweet romance but I wish there had been more reminiscing about the dress shop. To me the characters loved the dress shop but the reminiscing was about their past and present relationships. Etta, the grandmother to Corra, owned it.

I was expecting when she spoke about her love for a man she had to let go of a long time ago, she would have brought about her sewing and why or how she got there. I understood the relationship and the bubble-gum romance, which was an infatuation between Walt and Corra. I understood why Milly started to love him and the hardships she had in her past. I understood Etta & Sebastian, which he was always mentioned as the ‘Saint’. But it seemed like there were excessive characters that kept my head spinning. The end was wonderful, don’t get me wrong. I just wasn’t crazy about it.

As far as the narration Jennifer had the perfect British for the characters, it just wasn’t enough.

Definitely would recommend but I give it 2.8 out of 5 stars.

It was okay, not great

The narrator truly brought this story to life. It was sweet, charming, and magical. I was a little sad when our book club landed on such a "fluffy" read for November, but it was perfect. I couldn't stop listening.

loved it!

Loved the story and especially Jennifer Carr's performance. She is magical. I adore how van Praag weaves the story of so many characters and wraps it all up perfectly by the end.

A Perfectly Wrapped Package

Couldn't put it down! I will remember this one with fondness! The intricate story weaves magic, mystery, love and redemption in a lovely story, like wandering through a garden path.

loved it! Precious!

Any additional comments?

Maybe I expected to much. While enjoyed The Dress Shop of Dreams, I enjoyed The House at the End of Hope Street more

Good but not great
