I enjoyed Mrs Lincoln's Dressmaker very much. I think it is one of Jennifer Chiaverini's better books. I have read all of her books and, while I enjoy them, I do think she spends far too much time giving background info in her stories. I don't remember which book in particular it was but, I felt like nothing new was going on. I also like Marie Bostwick's books and didn't realize she had a new book out. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
