The Secret Dressmaker is the latest novel by author Jenny O’Brien. It is the second book in the Threads of Resistance series.
Shelves of sequins in a kaleidoscope of colours. Bolts of silk and tulle against the back wall. The sewing room was the last place anyone had seen her daughter alive.
Northern Ireland, 1942. Flora Toussaint packs parachutes for the RAF, haunted by the twin daughters she was forced to give up eighteen years ago. When British intelligence shows her photographs of her girls – now young women in occupied Paris – her world shifts. One is safe. One has vanished. And their father, the celebrated couturier Lucien Lumineau, is suspected of collaborating with the Nazis.
Flora agrees to a dangerous mission: parachute into France, pose as a seamstress at the Moulin Rouge, and uncover the truth. Lodging above a brothel where Edith Piaf sings after hours and where Pablo Picasso still holds court, she mends costumes between shows, searches for any trace of her missing daughter between curfews, and circles closer to Lucien.
But Lucien isn’t the man she remembers. Neither is their history. And what Flora discovers will unravel everything she thought she knew – about Lucien, about her daughters, and about the night she gave them away.
The Secret Dressmaker is a fantastic read for fans of historical fiction set in World War Two .
A very powerful story that takes you on a real emotional journey from love to loss, to heartbreak and exceptional courage, determination and sacrifice.
It has lots of intrigue and twists and Flora is a very likeable character who you connect with from the very first page.
If you enjoy historical fiction that has lots of depth and emotion as well a compelling plot then give this one a go!
