This was a sweet and fun historical fiction set in WWII Britain. While the plot is simple, the character growth is beautiful. Overall, I found it to be a easy and enjoyable read. One friend described it as a grown up American Girl story. 

I was so happy to be chosen to receive an ARC. I’ve read all of Jennifer Ryan’s previous books. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each one. 
This one did not disappoint. Ryan’s last theme was surrounded by cooking. Her first book was surrounded by singing. This book’s theme is sewing. I hope she continues to share different types of vocations of what was done in the time of war. I know Ryan applies herself by jumping in and doing a lot of research when she writes. I especially love the author notes she provides at the end of her books. I learn things about the war I had no clue about. 
The three ladies in this book are wonderfully unique. I learn a lesson in each one of their storylines. Though I loved all the characters, my heart kept gravitating to Violet. The challenges, decisions and friendships she creates throughout the story bring such a heartfelt gift in the book. I will as usually be adding Ryan’s book to my collection when it comes out to print.
