The Gown: A Novel of the Royal Wedding by Jennifer Robson.
William Morrow (an imprint of HarperCollins), 2019. Adult fiction.
Ann and Miriam have very different backgrounds, but become friends when they both work as
embroiderers at the famous Hartnell design studio in London. Imagine their amazement when they
work on the wedding dress for Princess Elizabeth!
The story is juxtaposed with chapters about Heather and her grandmother in Canada. Readers gradually learn how they are connected with the historical part of the book.
The writing is smooth, the characters are well developed. Readers will enjoy learning more about
the royal wedding, but especially enjoy living in the fictional shoes of ones who might have been
there.
