The Gown by Jennifer Robson was just the kind of book I like: historical fiction and a back-and-forth between the past and present. It’s the story of two women who embroider Princess Elizabeth’s (now Queen Elizabeth) wedding gown. And, it’s the story of one of the woman’s granddaughter who finds out about her grandmother’s interesting life after her death. This was a quick read and a very enjoyable one – the perfect way to spend Mother’s Day!
