Fiction. Literature. Historical Fiction. HTML:“A captivating story about the power of friendship . . . More than a novel, it is a recipe for happiness.”—Anne Fortier, New York Times bestselling author of Juliet
Every dress has a history. And so does every woman.
/>

Phoebe Swift’s friends are stunned when she abruptly leaves a plum job to open her own vintage clothing shop in London—but to Phoebe, it’s the fulfillment of a dream, and her passion. Digging for finds in attics and wardrobes, Phoebe knows that when you buy a piece of vintage clothing, you’re not just buying fabric and thread—you’re buying a piece of someone’s past. But one particular article of clothing will soon unexpectedly change her life.
Thérèse Bell, an elderly Frenchwoman, has an impressive clothing collection. But among the array of elegant suits and couture gowns, Phoebe finds a child’s sky-blue coat—an item with which Mrs. Bell is stubbornly reluctant to part. As the two women become friends, Phoebe will learn the poignant tale of that little blue coat. And she will discover an astonishing connection between herself and Thérèse Bell—one that will help her heal the pain of her own past and allow her to love again.
BONUS: This edition contains an A Vintage Affair discussion guide and an excerpt from Isabel Wolff's The Very Picture of You.

Hay personas que cuando entran en una tienda sólo ven hilos, botones y lazos, dispuestos más o menos elegantemente, en forma de pantalón o camisa. Pero desengañémonos, la ropa o, mejor dicho, la ropa vintage, es mucho más que eso. Los vestidos del pasado hablan de la vida de los otros, de aquellos que amaron y sufrieron cuando nuestras madres ni siquiera eran hijas. Las faldas, los cancanes, las blusas y los bolsos abrigaron los sueños de otras mujeres y, de algún modo, nos enseñan a perseguir los nuestros.
Así es como piensa Phoebe, que acaba de montar su propia tienda vintage en Blackheath, el corazón de Londres. La gente le ha dicho que está loca. ¿Cómo se ha atrevido a abrir su propio negocio con la crisis actual? Pero la ropa es su pasión. Ha trabajado duro, ha elegido las prendas adecuadas. Esta tarde es la inauguración oficial, el comienzo de una gran aventura. Phoebe todavía ignora que esas prendas del pasado le cambiarán la vida.

A Vintage Affair hit the spot! The main character, previously employed by Sotheby's in London, opens her own vintage clothing store. We peek into the lives of the people who come to sell clothes and people who come to buy. We also meet boyfriends and friends from the past. Just a warning that this is not a bubble headed always feel good story, included is a character who is haunted by the betrayal of a Jewish girl during WWII and the death of the pirmary character's best friend. A really good read that will keep you engaged until the last page. This is the first book I've read by Isabell Wolff but will be looking for more. ( )

Molto bello. Isabel Wolf ci accompagna in un viaggio nel tempo tra Londra e Avignone, storie d'amore e di amicizia si intrecciano con finale a sorpresa. Da leggere tutto d'un fiato, impossibile stacarsene. ( )

I like the plot...but if the story has to do with "a little blue coat" why is there a hot pink dress one the cover.

Just a little thought

How appropriate to buy a book about vintage clothes in a second-hand book store? When I saw the book, I fell in love with the cover. The summary was intriguing, so one plus one equals I had to have the book. Please, don't think it is a fluffy read; oh no, it isn't. It is very well written, filled with excellent characterizations, a compelling plot (for that matter, many plots), deeply researched concerning vintage clothing.
A Vintage Affair is about our regrets over relationships that have ended, how to forgive and move on. The necessity of forgiving so that we can move on. The necessity of accepting the truth so that we can move on. The sadness when it is obvious that even with forgiveness, the relationship cannot be repaired--the tragic parts will always be hanging in the background, casting a spell of gloom over all potential happiness. The acceptance that sometimes it is impossible to gain forgiveness because the other party is gone will make you figure out how to make it right and forgive yourself.
If you love reading about the recent past, especially about beautiful clothes, and if you enjoy reading something that will stir your emotions and cause you to think, this is the book for you.
I am looking forward to reading more books by Isabel Wolff soon.
