This was a hard read. I knew going in that it was set during the Civil War and that's always going to be tough. Thankfully the focus wasn't graphically descriptive around enslavement, but the other bits were really tough, too.
It was absolutely worthwhile, but I'm gonna need something lighter next.

The Thread Collectors drew me on a couple of levels. First, as a seamstress, I just had to at least read the blurb for a book titled The Thread Collectors. Then, to find out it's historical fiction set during the Civil War was all I needed to know I had to read this one. I was so caught up in the lives of these characters and how they intertwine. The story is, of course, emotional, and the authors have crafted the kind of characters who get under your skin. The type I won't soon forget. The book is very well-researched and beautifully written. It's my first experience with either of these authors, but it won't be my last.
