| Summary |
"1932. After the Great War took both her brother and her fiancé, Violet Speedwell has become a "surplus woman," one of a generation doomed to a life of spinsterhood after the war killed so many young men. Yet Violet cannot reconcile herself to a life spent caring for her grieving, embittered mother. Finally she saves enough to move out of her mother's place and into the town of Winchester, home to one of England's grandest cathedrals. There, Violet is drawn into a society of broderers--women who embroider kneelers for the Cathedral, carrying on a centuries-long tradition of bringing comfort to worshippers. Violet finds support and community in the group, and even a growing friendship with the vivacious Gilda. But when her new independence is threatened and another war appears on the horizon, Violet must fight to put get used to a place where women aren't expected to grow." -- abridgment of a synopsis from goodreads.com |
