"Liz Trenow sews together the strands of past and present as
delicately as the exquisite stitching on the quilt that forms the
centerpiece of the story."--Lucinda Riley, author of The Orchid
House
She Kept Her Secret for a Lifetime...
A shy girl with no family, Maria knows she's lucky to have
landed in the sewing room of the royal household. Before World War
I casts its shadow, she catches the eye of the Prince of Wales, a
glamorous and intense gentleman. But her life takes a far darker
turn, and soon all she has left is a fantastical story about her
time at Buckingham Palace.
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.
