The Grace Kelly Dress by Brenda Janowitz - Audio version

The Grace Kelly Dress

 by Brenda Janowitz

★★★★★

It doesn't take many words to explain

what this book is about. It really says

it all there on the cover. 

But as you would think, there is so much

more to the story. So much more to the

dress. So much more to the people that

make these dresses. And perhaps, so 

much more to Brenda Janowitz. 

When you are reading about women

from three generations, you have to 

guess that you will come across a

 lot of emotion. Kindness. Generosity.

Imagination. Romance, of course. 

And so many secrets. 

As you listen to the descriptions of 

everything narrated by

Cassandra Campbell, you can close 

your eyes to see it all. You can see

the Grace Kelly Dress. The writing

is beautifully done. So a good 

narrator can spoil your imagination

as you relax. 

A story like this is meant for a woman

that enjoys fashion and romance.

 ★★★★★

Reading the synopsis of Delicious, the 

title is explained. Maybe even the story

is explained. But it really isn't!

There is so much more to it. 

Usually, you will find the matriarch of a

big, wealthy family to be encouraging

and protective. You might often find a

woman choosing to raise a child by 

herself is doing so because the

 father turned out to be a jerk. When 

it is a question of a business going 

under, you would not likely find a 

successful popular person taking 

it over. It is usually someone that is 

trying to prove themselves. 

But this story is not typical.

It is romantic. It is funny. 

Some of the characters are 

not the center of the story. 

And you will wonder why. 

The narrator is the amazing

Therese Plummer. She does her

expected fabulous job. Only making

a good story better.

Perhaps if you read the synopsis of this story,

you will think you know how it is going to go.

But you would be wrong. 

I don't know how you can describe a book

without giving away distinguishing details.

This is what I struggle with when 

writing a review for a book I have read. 

This is my first book by Rachel Hanna. 

Maybe the cover was a big factor. It is so 

beautiful. Places kept popping into my 

head while reading. They always fit 

together with this cover. 

The beginning of the story is a marriage

break up. Typical, in that the husband 

decides the grass is greener on the 

other side. But is it ever, really?

The Beach House is a typical situation with

many unusual twists and turns. It was a 

good story to listen to. The narration

was nice. The narrator was perfect for 

this story.
