November 28 – The Women in Black, by Madeline St. John (2020)

Here’s a cute and light story about the ladies that work in the “Ladies Cocktail Frocks” department at the FG Goode department store. They’re all expected to wear black dresses to work. Set in Sydney in the 1950s. They’re girding themselves for the Christmas rush. A Slovenian immigrant named Magda rules the “Model gowns” section, and takes a young woman, Lisa, under her wing. Lisa was raised very conservatively.
The other shop assistants don’t like Magda, jealous because she’s very good at selling expensive gowns to the wealthy Sydney socialites. Women are expected to work a couple of years, then marry and stay home with children. It starts off slow but you warm to the characters and it’s a light, slim read, perfect way to relax after a busy Thanksgiving weekend as we now begin getting ready for Christmas (as do the ladies in the book).
