It tells the story of the origin of the famous and enigmatic Bayeux Tapestry from the point of view of two women who lived nine centuries apart. Leofgyth is an eleventh century embroiderer who works in of the court of Edward the Confessor, and Madeleine is a twenty-first century professor of Medieval History. Between them, the dramatic story of the end of Saxon England unfolds and an ancient mystery is solved.
