For decades, it has clothed the women of this suburb, through good times and bad, for richer, for poorer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLocal resident \u003cb\u003eDaphne\u003c\/b\u003e has always worked at the frock shop. And she knows better than most how clothes are used by women as talismans, as armour, as beauty. Clothes are essential parts of women's stories, and those stories are now part of Daphne's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaphne has her own stories, too. Some involve her old friend \u003cb\u003eAdelaide\u003c\/b\u003e, who still bears the devastating secret that caused her to flee Australia in her youth. Some involve a new friend, \u003cb\u003eChristina\u003c\/b\u003e, who has been forced to leave her glamorous Los Angeles life to rebuild in her childhood city. Then there is \u003cb\u003eMargot\u003c\/b\u003e, living a life that is far from what she had dreamed it would be, and \u003cb\u003eLucy\u003c\/b\u003e, desperate for escape and the promise of tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot only does the frock shop give them purpose, but the clothes will help them become the women they were destined to be, because it is never too late for a transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for Sophie's novels:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'A heartwarming, feel-good novel bursting with charm, humour and seaside sunshine'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eTHE AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Cosy, uplifting and entertaining, this is the perfect escape read' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eWOMAN'S DAY\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Delightful'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eBETTER HOMES AND GARDENS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e'A warm treat of a novel' \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eWEEKEND AUSTRALIAN\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e'Reading a Sophie Green book is the greatest escape'\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003eWHO MAGAZINE\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Australia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56643602219352,"sku":"9780733654039","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780733654039.jpg?v=1780440322","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/frock-shop","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
