    Stunning & Remarkable!

    If your favoured reading material is a novel with a good sprinkling of history, gentleness and humour, then feel free to read this latest offering by Tracy Chevalier - A Single Thread. I loved this book. I although I have only read one of Chevalier's other books, I still consider myself a bit of a fan and I knew I would thoroughly enjoy this one. More used to reading fast-paced, dark thrillers, this book was a soothing, calming read for me. It described a restricted life of a woman who wanted something more in a time when this caused problems. With a deftly articulated historical setting, the book was set in the early 1930's as it told the story of the main character, a woman called Violet Speedwell who moved to Winchester to start to make her own way in life, joining a group of embroiderers who were creating cushions for the cathedral. Her life was well-described and well researched and the novel had a female-centred twist. Violet was a lovely character although the book had a number of great characters, some whom were very likeable and others were a lot less personable. I was rooting for Violet and her friends and I found the embroidery aspect fascinating, although I have rather limited ability with a needle myself. This story was wonderfully understated and gentle, about a bye-gone age when societies rules and foibles were generally strictly obeyed. Tracy Chevalier, a talented and accomplished story-teller. is certainly an author who can create a picture, a character and an atmosphere with the appearance of great skill and effortlessness. I loved the gentle humour and there were some fantastic and absurd stories, as well as moments of menace as Violet showed just how assertive and forceful she could be on occasions of threat and risk. There was unrequited love but healing too and the ending of the book was lovely, unexpected and optimistic. The writing was beautiful and the story memorable and noteworthy and I'm certain that this is one of those books that will remain with me. I recommend A Single Thread, without hesitation, to anyone who is partial to historical, contemporary or classic fiction. I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my own request, from HarperCollins UK via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion. Thank you also to Pigeonhole and Tracy Chevalier for giving me the opportunity to read this book!

    Single Thread

    A great read, insight into country England, the ongoing impacts of life post war, the prejudices, the struggles and overcoming grief. A book that takes you to a world you had not considered, bell ringing will never be heard in the same way again. Likewise embroidery and the gift of handmade to community. Shall look for this author again.
