About the Books:
In The Dress Shop of Dreams, shy scientist Cora inherits her grandparents' vintage dress shop, where each gown seems to carry a little magic, nudging its wearer towards courage and long-buried truths. It's a tender story about grief, hope and small acts of kindness. The House at the End of Hope Street, Van Praag's beloved debut, introduces Alba, who arrives at a mysterious Cambridge house that has sheltered extraordinary women throughout history, from Virginia Woolf to Dorothy Parker. Within its walls, residents find strength to rebuild their lives, guided by whispers of wisdom from the past. Rounding out the collection, The Lost Art of Letter Writing follows Clara, who runs a stationery shop filled with beautiful paper and pens, helping customers rediscover the healing power of handwritten words in a digital age.
