The Dress

Reviews / Votes

An unashamedly romantic novel - romantic in the best sense - not really a love story, but a novel that has a deep belief in the intrinsic goodness of individuals . . . Sophie Nicholls should be taking her place among the best-selling mainstream authors - Kate Morton, Adele Geras, Joanne Harris - because she's good enough. * Indie Ebook Review * A light read about love, relationships and friendships as well as appreciation for fashion and handmade clothing. I loved it because I pretty much share the same fashion passions. Nicholls' writing style is very easy to read, the story is compelling and grabbed me from the start. * Prettily * This book is a wonderful read and I would definitely recommend it (...) I can't wait for the sequels! * Loubee Lou Blogs * So as we raise our glasses (and cupcakes) to the successful launch of this already much-adored story, there is a certain something in the air, that little bit of sparkle you can't see, only feel. The sense of comfort a good book, favourite dress or a roomful of happy people can provide - a moment of magic' * Yorkshire Times * The story is set in York, just up the road from my home, so I immediately felt at home inside the pages. It felt so magical and I adored the characters too. The book is well written and charming * The Reading Shed Book Blog * Trust us, you're in for a treat * Living North Magazine (Yorkshire) * It's a delightful and easy read, and could work as both a beach read and or one to curl up with in the colder months * Belle About Town * ?Although The Dress is only a short novel Sophie packed it with a whole lot of magic (...) Sadly I can only dream of wearing one of Fabia's wonderful pieces that are stitched with love and just a little splash of old magic * Books and Boardies * This is a wonderful book about relationships, accepting challenges and showing courage. It makes you think a lot about prejudice and how we see people * Chick Lit Club * The Dress is a beautiful read (...) Whilst set in the present, the story has an air of timelessness * Novel Ideas Book Club *
