I have now read three of her books (The Echo of Old Books, and The Last of the Moon Girls) and I have absolutely LOVED each one of them. While very different from each other, the books are so well written, holding the reader's attention from the first all the way to the end, making it hard to put it down for very long. Each of these three books are captivating and mesmerizing, beautifully written, with the ability to remain with the reader long after finishing the reading. Barbara Davis is an outstanding author! Review: A warmhearted historical novel with a whisper of magic - Thanks to desertcart Prime for an advance digital copy. All comments and opinions are my own. I couldn’t resist this book – second chances, true love, fashion, France, and the whisper of fairy tales and magic. This historical fiction has a dual timeline, telling the stories of Soline Roussel in World War II France and Rory Grant in 1985 Boston. Soline Roussel is a 60-ish Parisian dressmaker known for her exquisite taste and avant-garde designs when she meets Rory Grant, a 23-year-old fabric artist who decides to open an art gallery. At first these two women seem to have no commonality, but it soon becomes apparent that they share a special kind of grief as well as their passion for the creative, their lost loves, and a connection as kindred spirits. This is a story of mothers and daughters, “Three women who’d been thrown together by a series of events none of them could explain, across seas and years and so many losses. Three separate strands woven to make one whole. Fragile alone but stronger now because they were together.” I don’t want to share too much of the plot or its developments, for fear I’ll give something away that is best for the reader to discover while turning the pages. This is a novel of family secrets, of lost and found, of true love and forgiveness, an evil villain, and following dreams – all the earmarks of a fairy tale including a special wedding gown with a happily-ever-after guarantee. This was a warmhearted novel that provided the promised “happy ending” of the title. As Rory reflects, “Such an inexplicable confluence of events. Lives intersected. Hearts reunited. Families mended. Because of a box she found under the stairs of a burned-out building. A box full of happy endings – and perhaps a touch of magic.” I highly recommend this feel-good World War II historical novel. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #790 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Historical World War II & Holocaust Fiction #8 in World War II Historical Fiction #51 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (122,701) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 1 x 8.25 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1542021472 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1542021470 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 415 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 2021 | | Publisher | Lake Union Publishing | ## Images ![The Keeper of Happy Endings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OuSgIJPDL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Captivating Historical Fiction and Wonderful Story! *by S***I on July 26, 2025* This was the first book by Barbara Davis that I read.
