A wonderful antidote to a typical historical nonfiction work. I loved how the author researched and “allowed” the space between the stitches to take life, and how she embraced the “spiritual” meaning of Ashley’s sack. In addition, the book really lent itself to being read aloud and the narrator was excellent.
