Review by Booklist Review
Rory was drawn to a gutted Boston row house because it would be the perfect home for her art gallery, but she's more surprised to feel an immediate connection to Soline Roussel, the owner of the building. After a fire decimated Soline's bridal studio four years ago, she didn't have the heart to rebuild her business after repairing the old house, and she sees a kindred spirit in Rory. Despite their generational age gap, the two women become friends and confidantes after learning that they've both lost the great loves of their lives. When Rory surprises Soline with a picture of her war-time fiancé, a discovery changes both of their lives forever. Davis (The Last of the Moon Girls, 2020) skillfully intertwines Rory's and Soline's histories, jumping between the mid-1980s and the early 1940s. Historically sound with a thread of supernatural intrigue, this exploration of shared experiences, learned adaptations, and the power of trust is a book that fans of Catherine Ryan Hyde, Erica Bauermeister, and Lucinda Riley will fall in love with.
