About this listen
An enchanting novel about fate, second chances, and hope, lost and found, by the Amazon Charts bestselling author of The Last of the Moon Girls.
Soline Roussel is well schooled in the business of happy endings. For generations her family has kept an exclusive bridal salon in Paris, where magic is worked with needle and thread. It’s said that the bride who wears a Roussel gown is guaranteed a lifetime of joy. But devastating losses during World War II leave Soline’s world and heart in ruins and her faith in love shaken. She boxes up her memories, stowing them away, along with her broken dreams, determined to forget.
Decades later, while coping with her own tragic loss, aspiring gallery owner Rory Grant leases Soline’s old property and discovers a box containing letters and a vintage wedding dress, never worn. When Rory returns the mementos, an unlikely friendship develops, and eerie parallels in Rory’s and Soline’s lives begin to surface. It’s clear that they were destined to meet - and that Rory may hold the key to righting a forty-year wrong and opening the door to shared healing and, perhaps, a little magic.

“Historically sound with a thread of supernatural intrigue, this exploration of shared experiences, learned adaptations, and the power of trust is a book that fans of Catherine Ryan Hyde, Erica Bauermeister, and Lucinda Riley will fall in love with.” (Booklist)
“This intriguing novel is magically woven together with sorrow, surprises, and happiness, just like the wedding gowns of ‘The Dress Witch’.” (Historical Novel Society)
“Davis’s tale of love and loss, expertly woven around the lives of two women who have nothing - and yet everything - in common, inspires hope that our own happy endings might be biding their time, ready to show up when and where we least expect them. The Keeper of Happy Endings is a perfect blending of romance and mystery with a sprinkling of magic - heartwarming and satisfying. Don’t miss it!” (Kerry Anne King, best-selling author of Whisper Me This and Everything You Are)

It’s been months and I’m still daydreaming about this story
The stories told in this book feel so intimate, like someone is sitting next to you, reminiscing on their life and trusting you with their deepest secrets. I was so glad to have listened to this as an audiobook, making me feel as if it was playing out in front of me, and keeping my interest. I was able to enjoy the slowness of this book, refreshing for me because i'm usually quick to put down, but the characters and their stories were so captivating that it felt right to listen to every word and let it be told detail by detail. The last quarter of the book felt like it was unfolding at a faster pace. I was hoping for it to slow down, and was a little disappointed when it didn't. Whilst there were a lot of unrealistic twists, without them this wouldn't be a story about fate. A beautiful story with a touch of magic.
Narration was outstanding. Well done!

A pleasant read
A great story that I really enjoyed however the French accent of the older lady was appalling and very hard to understand and listen to. If you can push past her drawl it’s worth the journey.

Beautifully read, easy to listen to. Lovely story.
Well crated story and the readers use of accent and tone and pace made it a great listen.
