My review

Magic in Mauve is a heartwarming story of three women whose life has been unexpectedly blossomed into happiness. Monique is a fashion reporter who designed and stitched a mauve skirt for her wedding. When her wedding was unexpectedly called off, she donated it. This skirt changed hands and bought fortune to whomsoever wear it. She follows the trail in an attempt to retrieve it unraveling the magical stories of women who are touched by the magic of mauve.

The story begins by narrating three different parallel plots centering around three women in entirely different circumstances. I was ardently following the story to know how their lives will get intervenes and when. But this turn was very surprising for me. They all are connected by Paris, the holy city of fashion, ironically.

The skirt may or may not possess magic. But it will certainly give confidence to whoever wears it. This confidence is the root cause for change their lives. They finally face their fears and all other things fall into place. This is such a beautiful story about women who are finding happiness in their lives by their own will.

I liked the concept of this story. The author has beautifully blended empowering ideas and penned down a magical story around it. The story is fast-paced and has elements of a thriller, always keeping me at the edge of the seat to know what happens next. Really loved the narration.
