Tapestry – The Story behind Bayeux — An evening with Kylie Fitzpatrick
In her novel, 'Tapestry', Kylie Fitzpatrick sets out to unravel the mystery of the Bayeux Tapestry, exploring the story of medieval women who stitched it, and the dying days of Anglo-Saxon England.
The Bayeux Tapestry is the most famous embroidery in the world. Its origins are mysterious. Although it tells the story of the victory of the Normans in 1066, it is believed to have been made in England in the eleventh century. In 2017, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that it would be loaned to Britain for public display. It is expected to be exhibited at the British Museum from 2022, the first time that it has left France in 950 years.
“Fitzpatrick excels in presenting complex ideas and human frailty in the face of fear and desire” Saturday Telegraph
“A novel of genuine power and conviction” Sunday Times
