Rosen’s writing is a delight to read, and helps keep all the stories straight."I LOVED THIS BOOK!. The dress works its magic in the lives of a Bloomingdales sales girl, a private detective, and a personal assistant, among others. Rosen gives the nine women their own chapter and voice, as their lives intersect with the dress. After that the dress becomes the main character of the story. A fresh off the bus model has the privilege to wear it first, and is an instant star. The dress is created by a pattern maker at the end of his career, so it’s special as soon as it’s made. The dress takes on a mantle of magic as it fills a specific need for each woman that wears it. It’s appropriate that the dress at the centre of this book is an iconic little black dress. The “one degree of separation” phenomenon is understandable in a city the size of ours, but could it work in the metropolis of New York? This book proves it can, and one incredible dress is the touchstone that unites a group of nine diverse women. Here in Thunder Bay, it’s common to discover you have something or someone in common to almost everyone you meet. This elegantly written book shows just how connected we all are.
