For Adults
‘The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon is the Dear Mrs Bird of its time. Such a book! Really special.’ – KATIE FFORDE
To unravel the story of that long-lost summer, she had to follow the thread…
Florence Connelly is broken-hearted; her beloved grandmother has just died and her marriage has
collapsed.
But things change when she opens a box of vintage 1960s dress patterns, discovered inside her
grandmother’s wardrobe. Inside each pattern packet is a fabric swatch, a postcard from Europe and a faded photograph of a young woman wearing the hand-made dress. Why did Flo’s grandmother never speak of this mysterious woman – Nancy Moon?
Her life in tatters, Flo decides to remake Nancy’s dresses, and to head across to the Continent to recreate Nancy’s Grand Tour of 1962. As she follows the thread, Flo begins to unravel an untold story of love and loss in her family’s past. And perhaps to stitch the pieces of her own life back together…
‘Beautiful and touching. A remarkable debut novel, which demonstrates the enduring nature of love, family and friendship.’ – Sarah Haywood, author of THE CACTUS
