The Gown: A Novel of the Royal Wedding by Jennifer RobsonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A magnificent book. Illuminating on so many levels. It brought a small period in history into sharp focus and gave additional insight into the people of Great Britain. The relationship between the crown, gown and the people who made the gown is one that is hard to pin down but Robson has done it in spades and made a fan out of me.
One must speak of Roson's style. Its perfect for me. I could see the places and people and the story moved quickly. Not sure many authors could keep me interested in embroidery but she might be able to write about paint drying and make it interesting.
