Summary
Summary
A May 2014 LibraryReads Pick
Decades later, Caroline Meadows discovers a beautiful quilt in her mother's attic. When she can't figure out the meaning of the message embroidered into its lining, she embarks on a quest to reveal its mystery, a puzzle that only seems to grow more important to her own heart. As Caroline pieces together the secret history of the quilt, she comes closer and closer to the truth about Maria.
Page-turning and heartbreaking, The Forgotten Seamstress weaves together past and present in an unforgettable journey.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Trenow has written a spellbinding story that will keep readers up late to find out what happens next.” —RT Book Reviews
“A
page-turner with eye-opening details about the conditions of mental
hospitals in the twentieth century, as well as the provenance of royal
fabrics, the art of quilting, and the vagaries of modern interior
design.” —Publishers Weekly
“An heirloom patchwork quilt hiding a scandalous royal secret is the link between the generations in Trenow’s solid second novel…Flosnik treats each character, major or minor, with a sense
of distinction and identity. The narrative enthralls as it weaves back
and forth between Caroline’s and Maria’s stories—a haunting tale of past
and present voiced with grace and beauty.” —Publishers Weekly (audio review)
“The two narratives are seamlessly woven together, forming a heartrending tapestry of tragedy and resilience.” —Booklist
