MFOB FEATURED BOOK: The Gown
From the internationally best-selling author of Somewhere in France comes an enthralling historical novel about one of the most famous wedding dresses of the 20th century — Queen Elizabeth’s wedding gown — and the fascinating women who made it. With The Gown, Jennifer Robson takes us inside the workrooms where one of the most famous wedding gowns in history was created.
Balancing behind-the-scenes details with a sweeping portrait of a society left reeling by the calamitous costs of victory, she introduces readers to three unforgettable heroines, their points of view alternating and intersecting throughout its pages, whose lives are woven together by the pain of survival, the bonds of friendship, and the redemptive power of love.
