The Diary and the Green Dress : Shelley Banks : 9780645244403 : 0645244406 : 26 Sep 2021 : It's the exquisite, vintage, mint green dress that first captures Izzy's imagination. But it's what's underneath the dress, lying at the bottom of the dusty trunk, that takes her on an unexpected journey. A diary, contained in fifteen leather-bound volumes, with entries that begin in 1919. Who was Grace and what were the secrets of her life? As Izzy delves deeper, Grace's narrative unfolds-a tale of forbidden love and heart-wrenching loss. But as she begins to untangle Grace's story, Izzy suddenly finds herself untangling one of her own. Who is Claudia and what does her arrival mean for Izzy? Just like the entries in the diary, she finds out, one revelation at a time. Add a new romance to the mix and Izzy begins to wonder how life can change so quickly. For her and Grace.
