The Gown: A Novel of the Royal Wedding
“Millions will welcome this joyous event as a flash of color on the long road we have to travel.” -- Sir Winston Churchill, on the news of Princess Elizabeth’s forthcoming wedding
With The Gown, Jennifer Robson takes readers 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.
"Marvelous and moving, The Gown is a vivid portrait of female self-reliance in a world racked by the cost of war.” -- Kate Quinn, bestselling author of The Alice Network, The Huntress, The Rose Code, and The Briar Club
