Thought this would be a lot more interesting than it was. I was bored ... and am surprised I actually finished it.

I found parts of this book to be very interesting and engaging; but by about page 80, I was done. I went ahead and finished, though I will admit to skimming here and there. The author shares her thoughts on how clothing has impacted her personal life, as well as gives commentary regarding the clothing or accessories of famous figures in history. I especially enjoyed the plethora of literary history sprinkled throughout, but the parts regarding fashion houses, as well as some parts regarding random past ancestors, became boring after a short time. There was a lot of name dropping that the average reader wouldn't relate to much. I really enjoyed the chapters devoted to the Brontes.… (más)

Interesting life, was interesting speculation on how much she really knew/collaborated or was just so focused on her work that she deliberately ignored what was going on around her.

Having always been a great fan of Du Maurier's books and knowing a little about her life, I found this book a fascinating read. I loved it as much for what I did not know as for the chance to revisit what I already did. The three stories (four if you want to give a nod to Branwell), which weave between the present day and the 1959-60 era, are well told.
My main reaction to this novel, though, was to yearn for a reread of both Rebecca and the Bronte novels.
