While I don't read a lot of historical fiction, I decided to give The Seamstress of New Orleans a try because of its beautiful cover and where the story is set. My grandparents used to live in New Orleans and I always enjoyed visiting them there. I thought that reading a book set in the city (especially during Mardi Gras) would be fun! Overall, this novel turned out to be just okay. The big "plot twist" is extremely predictable and it takes forever for Alice and Constance, the protagonists, to figure it out for themselves. I would recommend this title to fans of historical fiction and stories that feature strong, independent female characters.
