Tapestry fully revised
| Two women, ten centuries apart, an astonishing secret. As England moves inexorably towards the Norman Conquest, Leofgyth, a gifted embroiderer, witnesses the rivalries, betrayals and private lives behind history's most famous events. Through her eyes, the Bayeux Tapestry comes vividly to life, not through the ambitions of kings alone, but through the women whose artistry and courage have been all but erased from history. Medieval historian Madeleine Broder inherits an eleventh-century manuscript connected to the Bayeux Tapestry, and believes she has discovered an extraordinary work of historical fiction. But as she translates its faded Latin, she encounters the unforgettable voice of Leofgyth. Spanning a thousand years, Tapestry is an immersive dual-timeline historical novel about love, loss, resilience and the women whose voices history almost forgot. Perfect for readers of Tracy Chevalier, Geraldine Brooks and Maggie O'Farrell. Available from Archetype Books and Amazon. |  |
