My review:
A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier is set in 1932 in Winchester. Violet lost a brother and her fiancé in the Great War (World War I), and like so many women at the time, is single due to the huge amount of young men who died in the war.
She moves to Winchester, escaping her mother’s home, and joins a group of women who embroider the cushions and kneelers in the cathedral.
Violet finding her feet, the group of women and World War II on the horizon is all part of this story, which I really enjoyed. The history of Winchester is part of the story, and was very interesting.
A Single Thread was published on 5th September 2019 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

I was given this book in exchange for an unbiased review, so my thanks to NetGalley and to HarperCollins.
