The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle by Jennifer Ryan is a heartwarming historical novel. The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle was well-written with realistic, developed characters. I enjoyed getting to know Cressida, Violet, Grace, Hugh, Ben, Landon, and the other characters. The village women were kind and quirky. I liked getting to see the main characters learn and grow from their experiences. I enjoyed the author’s descriptive writing which brought the story alive. I could tell that the author did her research. She included details that made the story authentic. I love how the women came together in the story to help brides have a white wedding gown. They were a supportive group of women. I thought it was interesting to learn that it was unpatriotic to be idle. There are some dark moments in the story, but there are many light ones as well. It was important to enjoy the good times. Despite the war, the people were optimistic and hopeful. You did not have to do something on your own as one of our characters learned. There were others there willing and able to lend a hand. The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle was a little bit of a slow starter, but I soon became involved in the story. The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle is a heartwarming, positive story that will leave you smiling. The Wedding Dress Sewing Circle is an uplifting tale with a waging war, make do and mend, bursting bombs, ration regulations, wedding dress worries, firm friends, and rare romances.
