From the globally bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring
It is 1932, and the losses of the First World War are still keenly
felt. Violet Speedwell, mourning for both her fiance and her
brother and regarded by society as a `surplus woman' unlikely to
marry, resolves to escape her suffocating mother and strike out
alone. A new life awaits her in Winchester. Yes, it is one of
draughty boarding-houses and sidelong glances at her naked ring
finger from younger colleagues; but it is also a life gleaming with
independence and opportunity. Violet falls in with the broderers, a
disparate group of women charged with embroidering kneelers for the
Cathedral, and is soon entwined in their lives and their secrets.
As the almost unthinkable threat of a second Great War appears on
the horizon Violet collects a few secrets of her own that could
just change everything...
