Inside this privileged world far different from her own humble beginnings, the skilled sewer quietly takes measurements, sketches designs, mends hemsâand in the silence, hears whispered secrets and stories of all those around her. Through the watchful young seamstressâs eyes, this small Italian city and its residents emerge in all their vitality, vanity, and fragilityâflawed yet congenial people who are not quite what they pretend to be. There is the Marchesa Esther, who rides horses and studies mechanics and ancient Greek; Miss Lily Rose, a spirited American journalist who commissions a special corsetâwith pockets to hide more than just her flaws; the Provera sisters with their expensive Parisian fashions that belie their financial hardships; and Assuntina, the wild child. There are men, young, old, and in between; love affairs and broken hearts; and even a murder (or was it suicide?). And at the center, watching and waiting is the seamstress herself, an intelligent, ambitious girl with a tender heart and her own impossible dream. 541 $d 20221202. 650 $a Dressmakers $v Fiction. 650 $a Social classes $v Fiction. 651 $a Italy $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 700 $a Maher, Brigid, $e translator. 941 $a 27 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509012737.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043450.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323012652.0 952 $l FWPE284 $d 20240314011330.0 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20240213010653.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014312.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032016.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011411.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629015201.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230603011031.0 952 $l FMPC224 $d 20230502012757.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20230321011152.0 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20230317010605.0 952 $l VWPC964 $d 20230228011327.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20230228010453.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20230207012520.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20230207011653.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230204010116.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230203010234.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20230124010546.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230111010459.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230111010209.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20230106011019.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230104013404.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230104010706.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20221224010021.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20221223010018.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6DBD3C2E828F11ED9BE70E6538ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
