Figures in Silk: A NovelHarper Collins, 11 мар. 2009 г. - Всего страниц: 471 “Bennett’s medieval England comes alive in ways a reader can immediately relate to, even while being transported away from the modern world.” The story of two sisters caught up in the maelstrom of historic events, Figures in Silk by Vanora Bennett combines the fascinating art and history of silk making with political intrigue and a sweeping, unforgettable love story. A breathing immersion into a Tudor England torn asunder by the War of the Roses, Figures in Silk is historical fiction at its finest—a rare and welcome treat for readers captivated by the fiction of Tracy Chevalier, Sarah Dunant, Geraldine Brooks, Susan Vreeland, and the Boleyn novels of Phillipa Gregory. |
