The Black Velvet Coat by Jill G. Hall

12/9/2015

Weaving back and forth through time, The Black Velvet Coat tells the story of Anne McFarland, a struggling artist trying to make her own way in the San Francisco art scene, and a fifty years earlier, the story of Sylvia Van Dam, a young heiress, who finds her fiancée isn't exactly who she thinks he is.  What ties the two ladies together is a beautiful black velvet coat, originally owned by Sylvia and recently purchased by Anne from a thrift shop.  

The Black Velvet Coat definitely kept my interest as both characters were well developed and I wanted to see where their journeys would taken them.  I felt the ending was a little rushed, but otherwise I truly enjoyed this book.  

Vintage clothes certainly have stories to tell and The Black Velvet Coat was an intriguing book showcasing how certain paths converge in life.  I look forward to reading more stories by Jill G. Hall.  

I received this book from BookSparks as part of their FRC 2015 in exchange for an honest review.  ​
