A dual-authored historical fiction novel by Shaunna J. Edwards and Alyson Richman, THREAD COLLECTORS follows two couples, one Black and one Jewish, both separated from their loves by The Civil War. I enjoyed this novel, even though it had some moments of slow pacing. It was heartwarming but realistic to the time period without languishing in Black trauma. I would definitely read more from this pair. Thank you to the publisher for the finished copy.
