dashausfrau 's review for:
A Single Thread
by Tracy Chevalier
I'm a big fan of Violet - she had plenty of character to craft a post-WWI story around, colored by the quandary of being an "excess woman" dealing with grief and building a life for herself. I also like stories with textile arts in them, so the embroidery was a lovely feature, plus the history & features of the cathedral & other churches & all the bells. It reminded me of the tv show Father Brown somewhat.
I'm rounding up to 4 stars, even though the rather mixed happy endings are pretty optimistic & I'm not sure the subplot with the stalker fits in with everything else. (Is it a metaphor? The ugly dragon is crippled by the feminine arts? IDK)
