A gloriously warm-hearted novel about wonderful hats, the people who buy
them - and their remarkable stories.
Hats! Hats! Hats! Upbrims, sidesweeps, silks, ribbons and trims all
become part of Ellie's life when she inherits the little hat shop on
Dublin's South Anne Street. But the city is changing, and Ellie must
decide if she wants to follow the hat-making tradition of her mother or
accept a generous offer to sell the shop.
Encouraged by her friends, Ellie takes on the hat shop, and her quirky
designs and tempting millinery confections soon attract a rich
assortment of customers all in search of the perfect hat.
Creating hats for weddings, shows, fashion and fun, and falling for the
charms of Rory Doyle along the way, Ellie is happier than she has ever
been before. But as her fingers work their magic she discovers a lot can
happen in the heart of a city like Dublin....
