In terms of style, the book flips back and forth between a narrative style and a simple informative style. I enjoyed it and felt that the alternation suited the type of information that was being shared with the audience at any given point. All in all, it is a very informative book that is not difficult for an average layperson to read.

First hand accounts from the holocaust.mal_reads_books's review against another edition
2.5
However, the book focused too much on specific fashion details and other facts not relevant to the women's stories. I wanted to read about the dressmakers, not a detailed description on the fabrics or fashion trends at the time. The book also kept jumping between stories. It was hard to keep track of who’s who and to connect with the women.
In short, the material and women’s stories were interesting, but the book itself was tedious to read.
Moderate: Genocide and Antisemitism

Otherwise this book is really really good! I have read a lot of Shoah material and I mean a lot but yet I had never hear of these women. The author also talks about things I had never heard before either.
If interested I also recommend Anne Sebba's book: Les Parisiennes: How the Women of Paris Lived, Loved, and Die... Which discusses clothing quite a bit.
