Description

The Missing Pieces of Nancy Moon is really special. It s the Dear Mrs. Bird or the Eleanor Oliphant of its time. Such a book! –Katie Fforde
Begin a journey in the footsteps of the mysterious Nancy Moon, and piece together the secrets of one extraordinary long-lost summer…
To unravel the story of that long-lost summer, she had to follow the thread…
Florence Connelly is broken-hearted; her beloved grandmother has just died and her marriage has collapsed.
But things change when she opens a box of vintage 1960s dress patterns, discovered inside her grandmother s wardrobe. Inside each pattern packet is a fabric swatch, a postcard from Europe and a faded photograph of a young woman wearing the hand-made dress. Why did Flo s grandmother never speak of this mysterious woman–Nancy Moon?
Her life in tatters, Flo decides to remake Nancy s dresses and to head across to the Continent to re-create Nancy s Grand Tour of 1962. As she follows the thread, Flo begins to unravel an untold story of love and loss in her family s past. And perhaps to stitch the pieces of her own life back together…
