I went into this thinking it was a thriller but it was more a historical family saga. It explores gender inequality in the fashion industry across three different women's lives. One during WWII, one in the 1970s, and one in present day America. Themes it tackled were motherhood, making impossible choices, and managing family legacies. I enjoyed the francophone vibes and exploring the fashion industry, especially during the 1970s timeline.
