The Palace Dressmaker

‘Beer’s emotionally rich narrative highlights the devastation of dementia and the solidarity found among those working to lessen its impact. This will move readers’ * Publishers Weekly *‘Beer sensitively explores the challenges of mental illness, the gifts (and the limits) of community, and the power of emotional bonds to change a person’s life … A tribute to unlikely friendships, enduring love, and the history contained in every stitch of an exquisitely crafted garment’ * Shelf-Awareness *‘While the story has many twists and is told through different perspectives and in different time periods, that won’t prevent readers from growing close to the characters and rooting for Meredith to reunite with her estranged daughter. Beer explores themes of love, grief, and hope, and readers who like historical fiction with multiple timelines will be drawn to this one’ * Booklist *
