Among them are Ann Hughes and Miriam Dassin, embroiderers in the famed Mayfair fashion house of Norman Hartnell. Together they forge an unlikely friendship, but their bond, along with their nascent hopes for a brighter future, are tested when they are chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime honor: taking part in the creation of Princess Elizabeth's wedding gown. Toronto, 2011: More than half a century later, Heather Mackenzie seeks to unravel the mystery of a set of embroidered flowers, a legacy from her late grandmother. How did her beloved Nan, a woman who never spoke of her old life in Britain, come to possess the priceless embroideries, so similar to the exquisite motifs that embellished the stunning gown worn by Queen Elizabeth II at her wedding more than sixty years before? And what was her Nan's connection to the celebrated textile artist Miriam Dassin? The Gown 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. Its heroines, whose points of view alternate and intersect throughout its pages, are connected by threads of loss and love, suffering and survival, regret and redemption"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Aina Haina Public Library Adult Fiction Robson (pbk) Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Robson Jennifer   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Fiction Robson   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
