Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

The two narratives are seamlessly woven together, forming a heartrending tapestry of tragedy and resilience. —Booklist
“Trenow has written a spellbinding story that will keep readers up late to find out what happens next.” —RT Book Reviews
“A page-turner with eye-opening details about the conditions of mental hospitals in the twentieth century, as well as the provenance of royal fabrics, the art of quilting, and the vagaries of modern interior design.” —Publishers Weekly
“An heirloom patchwork quilt hiding a scandalous royal secret is the link between the generations in Trenow’s solid second novel…Flosnik treats each character, major or minor, with a sense of distinction and identity. The narrative enthralls as it weaves back and forth between Caroline’s and Maria’s stories—a haunting tale of past and present voiced with grace and beauty.” —Publishers Weekly (audio review)
“The two narratives are seamlessly woven together, forming a heartrending tapestry of tragedy and resilience.” —Booklist
