This book seems to have low ratings here and on other sites and I feel it needs defending. I enjoyed this book, but then I am interested in sewing and couture dressmaking. If this is not an interest of yours, you will probably be bored. The main character lived, breathed, and ate dress design and would analyze everyone he met to design the perfect style and color for that person. His obsession with his work leaked into an obsession with a woman. He had a sense of isolation and being set apart from the main stream of life that some people would find depressing but I felt it was an honest depiction of a genius' life.
