Title: Here Come the Brides
Review: I first read Here Come the Brides in the late 1960's, so this was a re-read for me. It's a fun book, very fast paced and well written. The author is an English gentleman, writing in the first person as an American woman in her 20's living in mid-1960's NYC, working in the bridal department of a large NYC department store. The author makes a few mistakes as to how American women of that time period dressed and talked. For instance, most American women in the mid-1960's didn't wear hats and gloves to work, and on their days off they certainly didn't dress up in a suit and "brogues" to take a walk and visit a museum. Most young American women, both then and now, have never even heard of "brogues". They are heavy walking shoes, and no American girl would be caught dead wearing them with a suit. But this doesn't mar the writer's writing skllls and good sense of humor. The book is fun!
