Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for this eCopy to review
The Tapestry of Time is set during World War II and follows the Sharp family, who possess the Second Sight, a supposed psychic ability. Kit, an archivist in Paris, is involved in a love affair and is fascinated by the Bayeux Tapestry, which the Nazis believe holds predictive powers. Ivy is part of the Special Operations Executive, working on espionage and sabotage. The plot weaves together love, heroism, and the supernatural against the backdrop of war.
The characters are intriguing, especially Kit and Ivy. Their personal struggles and the supernatural elements add depth to the story. However, I felt the supernatural elements sometimes felt a bit forced and detracted from the historical aspects of the story.
Overall, it is a good historical novel
