Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Trenow (The Forgotten Seamstress, 2014) interweaves several narrative strands into a vivid historical tapestry, depicting both the silk trade and the silk riots in eighteenth-century England." - Booklist

"In this compelling story set at the time of the silk riots in the Age of Enlightenment, her knowledge of cloth and color shines throughout.
