First impression review of The red ribbon. A war time based story about a girl trying to fullfil her dream in the tough and competitive fashion industry. Shows potential for a fun and heartwarming story following her journey from sewing and learning with her grandma, to her trying to make it in one of londons fashion houses. Laughing and making friends along the way. But all the triumph within the book isn't without the hard work, and the down moments, which show how trying it was to live in that time and how hard it was in the fashion industry then. Definitely a book to sink your teeth into, one you will enjoy every moment of. Whether you are someone that knows something about the fashion industry or not.
