'Enormously enjoyable' Evening Standard 'Charming' The Times 'What
would you have me paint instead of a battle, Madame?' Genevieve de
Nanterre's eyes gleamed. 'A unicorn.' Keen to demonstrate his
new-found favour with the King, rising nobleman Jean le Viste
commissions six tapestries to adorn the walls of his chateau. He
expects soldiers and bloody battlefields. But artist Nicolas des
Innocents instead designs a seductive world of women, unicorns and
flowers, using as his muses Le Viste's wife Genevieve and ripe
young daughter Claude. In Belgium, as his designs spring to life
under the weavers' fingers, Nicolas is inspired once more - by the
master weaver's daughter Alienor and her mother Christine. They too
will be captured by his threads.
