The Last Dress from Paris by Jade Beer

 

Lucile has a very close relationship with her Grandmother, Sylvie.  She does not have a great relationship with her mother, Genevieve.  When her Grandmother asks for a special favour of course Lucille will do anything to help her.  When Lucille realizes the favour is a trip to Paris to find a special dress she is definitely confused.  She is to reach out to her Grandmother's dear friend's daughter, Veronique, while she is there for help with the mission.

At first the mission seems easy when Veronique shows her the dresses but the one she needs to bring home is missing.  Even more puzzling than the missing dress is that the dresses are haute couture dresses from the 1950's.  Why would Grandma have an expensive Dior dresses?  Each dress has a card with a cryptic clue and the location she wore the dress.  There is more to Grandma's story that Lucille needs to uncover.

With the help of some new friends, Lucile retraces the steps and uncovers the story of her Grandmother. Along the way, she falls in love with Paris and the trip has her rethinking her relationships and career.

I really enjoyed The Last Dress from Paris.  I loved reading about all the dresses and if you Google them you can see the dresses mentioned in the novel.  This was a wonderful novel with many twists and turns that had me engaged right to the end.
