What is The Keeper Of Happy Endings All About
Two women - Soline and Rory - one that owned a bridal salon who made magical wedding gowns that guaranteed happy endings and one who was starting an art gallery. A young woman Rory Grant who has ambitions to own an art gallery is interested in leasing the property. The last few chapters of the story were heavy with cheese, too-perfect happy endings, and on-the-nose dialogue in which each character says the sorts of direct things nobody would actually come right out and say. Hmmm it appears that her own wedding dress was not made with the magic of “happily ever after stitches” or was it?A Roussel gown is one that was hand-made by one of the long line of women who can work le magick and guarantee a bride a happy ending.
The Keeper of Happy Endings Quotes by Barbara Davis - Goodreads The Keeper of Happy Endings Quotes by Barbara Davis - Goodreads
I started to slow down the last 100 pages, and actually put the book down to start planning out my next read so I could stretch it out even more. It was pretty easy to figure out how things would go down, but that didn't detract at all from the pleasure of reading it.As Rory and Soline develop a friendship and spend time together, the tension escalates between Rory and Camilla. Talk about suspension of belief - you need to check all rational thought at the door and just settle in for one unbelievable coincidence after another. The subject matter will resonate with readers who have experienced heartache, deception, adversity, the navigation of complicated family relationships, and the trials of friendship and love. The dresses her family has made for generations are supposed to bring a lifetime of joy to those who wear them. It’s clear that they were destined to meet―and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

we didn't know what happened to the Kennedy gown nor THE dress that Soline carried across continents. In reality, this would have been a ReRead for me, except that there is a bit of a twist at the end and now that I know what that twist is, I’m not sure I would reread it. This is the only overt fantasy element of the story: Soline’s mother’s line passes down the gift of weaving a charm into the dress. La Tisserand de sort are not only dressmakers, but Spell Weavers that craft spells and sew them into wedding dresses.
The Keeper of Happy Endings begins with Soline Roussel reflecting on her life as she goes through an old dress box of mementos; it contains a dress, a stack of letters, and a shaving kit. While I am not a "clothes person", I enjoyed the descriptions of the beautiful embroidery and other handiwork that went into the Roussel wedding gowns.
