Acerca de esta escucha
The author of the “enthralling” (Woman’s World) The Lost English Girl returns with a heartfelt new novel about estranged sisters who inherit their late mother’s dress shop in World War II London.
Isabelle Shelton has always found comfort in the predictable world of her mother’s dressmaking shop, Mrs. Shelton’s Fashions, while her sister Sylvia turned her back on the family years ago to marry a wealthy doctor whom Izzie detests. When their mother dies unexpectedly, the sisters are stunned to find they’ve jointly inherited the family business. Izzie is determined to buy Sylvia out, but when she’s conscripted into the WAAF, she’s forced to seek Sylvia’s help to keep the shop open. Realizing this could be her one chance at reconciliation with her sister, Sylvia is determined to save Mrs. Shelton’s Fashions from closure—and financial ruin.
Through letters, the sisters begin to confront old wounds, new loves, and the weight of family legacy in order to forge new beginnings in this lyrically moving novel perfect for fans of Genevieve Graham and Lucinda Riley.

It’s always been easier for Cara Hargraves to bury herself in the past than confront the present, which is why working with a gruff but brilliant antiques dealer is perfect. While clearing out an estate, she pries open an old tin that holds the relics of a lost relationship: among the treasures, a World War II-era diary and a photograph of a young woman in uniform. Eager to find the author of the hauntingly beautiful, unfinished diary, Cara digs into this soldier’s life, but soon realizes she may not have been ready for the stark reality of wartime London she finds....

Drawing on the story of his own great-aunt, Watson explores the life of Miss Jane Chisolm, born in rural, early-20th-century Mississippi with a genital birth defect that would stand in the way of the central "uses" for a woman in that time and place: sex and marriage. From the highly erotic world of nature around her to the hard tactile labor of farm life, from the country doctor who befriends her to the boy who loved but was forced to leave her, Miss Jane Chisolm and her world are anything but barren.

When the girls’ mother dies and leaves the shop to both girls the sparks fly. Izzy is resentful of her sister and furious with her mother for leaving half the shop to Sylvie. Sylvie is dealing with the realization her husband is having an affair. She doesn’t want anything to do with the shop and offers to hand over her half to Izzy. Then Izzy is called up and she asks Sylvie to try to keep the shop open in her absence.
Sylvie throws herself into the business, hiding it from Horrible Hugo as Izzy calls Sylvie’s husband. Izzy is resentful that Sylvie is attempting to change the business after learning her mother has left the records in a shambles.
Much of the story consists of letters back and forth. Izzy is cold and carries years of resentment. Nothing Sylvie does although successful is acceptable to Izzy.
As the story continues both women learn something do it themselves that they would have missed if not for the strange bequest from their mother. There is also a lot of information on how British men and women dealt with the shortages. The clear class structure and Sylvie’s realization that the upper class would never accept her is thankfully a relic. There is a bit of romance and some long kept secrets that surface. Both women learn that people aren’t always what you think they are.
Other than slow start and my own frustration with Izzy’s unforgiving nature that got tiresome, it’s an excellent book and the narrator is first class
