Summary

Don’t miss the next utterly romantic historical saga from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author Dilly Court!

She ran along the snow-covered cobbles, gripping her sewing box – fate in her hands…

Living hand to mouth ever since her mother’s tragic death, Amelia sells the last of her treasured possessions to avoid being cast out of her home onto London’s streets.

Her estranged grandfather unexpectedly bequeaths a small, struggling factory making mourning dresses and Amelia dares to dream… Drawing sketches by candlelight, she longs to sew elegant gowns from fine silks and beautiful ribbons for the rich.

As the cold winter wind begins to bite, Amelia’s future hangs by a thread – can she keep her hopes alive?

A Christmas Marvel.

Dilly Court never fails to deliver engaging stories, beautifully narrated and with unexpected twists and turns throughout. A ‘feel good’ book for Christmas.

Lovely story, beautifully narrated

A truly lovely story with superb narration.

Having listened to Rag and Bone Christmas by the same author a few days previously I found this story, while beautifully written and engaging, quit repetitive.

Both stories took place in the harshness of winter in London, both had a lovely young man to help, children in desperate need being taken care of by the heroine and finally her escape from the terrible conditions in the harsh streets of London to the countryside.

I intend to purchase more of this author's books. However I feel I need a different author for my next listen because of the repetition of storyline.

Simply Brilliant I hope there is a book two

Everything about this story is amazing; The characters and how they develop within the story, the plot and sub lines, the setting and as always the amazing narration by Annie Adlington.

I really hope Dilly Court writes a sequel as there would be SOOOOOOOOO much scope to take this forward and waiting for it would be the only downside.
