The Dress by Kate Kerrigan
A novel set in Ireland, New York and London, interweaving two stories, past and present.
I ADORED The Dress.. an enthralling story... Unputdownable... Her writing shines in this gem of a novel' -- Cathy Kelly
Mesmerising and moving. Just beautiful -- Cecelia Ahern
Glamorous, gripping and moving. I just loved it -- Marian Keyes
I loved this glamorous and lusciously romantic novel, which ping-pongs between Fifties New York and London's contemporary fashion world. Packed with great characters, gorgeous settings and glorious atmosphere, it's Angela's Ashes meets Jacqueline Susann by way of Bridget Jones. I was in floods at the end. Irresistible -- Wendy Holden, Daily Mail
An endearing story about three generations of women whose lives are intertwined by The Dress * Candis Magazine *
From the bright lights of 1950s New York to fast-paced, present-day London, the interwoven narratives and beautifully realised characterisation make for a captivating read * The Lady *
Combines fashion and one's search for love beautifully in a tale that spans generations... Recommended for those who love stories that dig to a level deeper than mere romance to explore human relationships and family legacies' -- Cindy Thomson, author of the Ellis Island series
A delicious way to pass the time. It's a perfect page-turner for the summer holiday, so my advice would be don't leave home without it * Irish Independent *
Unlike many books about the fashion world, high on excitement at the glamorous setting, The Dress has none of this breathlessness. The writing is grounded in human drama, with the fashion element written about lovingly in terms of craftsmanship of couture, or realistically, in the case of Lily's travails in today's corporate fashion world... an engaging read' * Sunday Independent. *
