Six women and one man gather in a community centre in North London
for a life writing class run by Dorothy, their uniquely unqualified
teacher. They have urgent stories to tell and, as they recount
them, they discover they are connected in unexpected ways. There is
Iris, eighty years old but still with a taste for younger men;
Pearl single-handedly bringing up her grandson, enigmatic hooded
Kai; elusive Renee; Sabine whose happy Belgian childhood may not
have been as happy as it sounds; mixed-up Esther; Edgar whose
winning ways charm them all and of course there is Enid, the
retired art teacher, who insists on telling her story in pictures
not words. Illustrated with sharp line drawings by illustrator
Beatrice Baumgartner-Cohen, The Brondesbury Tapestry is a quirky,
perceptive look at a group of people who feel the modern world has
left them behind but who have decided that they will still have the
last word.
