The Hatmaker’s Heart by Carla Stewart-book review

My review of “The Hatmakers Heart” by Carla Stewart:

This book was set in the 1920’s which typically isn’t a time period I read. This story line follows Nell and her struggles with being a hatmaker and being successful in a man’s business world. It was a good story but not something that kept my interest or what I would typically like to read. I give it 4 stars because its a good story and great writing, just not for me.

Read on below for the book description to see if it’s something you would like…

About the book:

For Nell Marchwold, bliss is seeing the transformation when someone gets a glimpse in the mirror while wearing one of her creations and feels beautiful. Nell has always strived to create hats that bring out a woman’s best qualities. She knows she’s fortunate to have landed a job as an apprentice designer at the prominent Oscar Fields Millinery in New York City. Yet when Nell’s fresh designs begin to catch on, her boss holds her back from the limelight, claiming the stammer she’s had since childhood reflects poorly on her and his salon.

But it seems Nell’s gift won’t be hidden by Oscar’s efforts. Soon an up-and-coming fashion designer is seeking her out as a partner of his 1922 collection. The publicity leads to an opportunity for Nell to make hats in London for a royal wedding. There, she sees her childhood friend, Quentin, and an unexpected spark kindles between them. But thanks to her success, Oscar is determined to keep her. As her heart tugs in two directions, Nell must decide what she is willing to sacrifice for her dream, and what her dream truly is.
