What a bummer! Mandel writes so beautifully but this one just went nowhere, in my opinion.

I enjoyed this tale full of morally ambiguous characters. In the late 1700s Esther, the Huguenot wife of a silk-weaver, rescues Sara from life in a brothel, but all is not rosy in that household either.
This felt rather like a Tracy Chevalier novel; a great storyline as well as an in-depth look at an aspect of history, in this case silk-weaving.
Thanks so much for the gift @julesG ! 😘

Here is my (for once) early #ReadWithMrBook prompt. It was not only #pickedforcover as it was a book-club-prompt, but I really like the Magritte-esque image.
