A Tapestry of Light by Kimberly Duffy
MY REVIEW
I started reading this and was drawn in right away, however life got a bit crazy and I finally got back to it this weekend and finished it in 2 days – could not put it down! (I’m a slow reader).
It was a long weekend so I was able to savor it! And Savor it I did. Duffy’s writing is vivid and brings you right into the scenes with all the senses.
The rich history and culture of life in India in 1886 and in England is brought to life and this story is one that is timely and important. Along with being fascinated by the element of embroidery in this book, I also grew to love these characters and a few tears were shed along the way. A thoroughly engaging read and it would make a stunning and vibrant movie, although Kimberly Duffy’s writing enables the reader to see this all play out in their mind’s eye.
Don’t miss this one!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Calcutta, 1886.
Ottilie Russell is adrift between two cultures, British and Indian, belonging to both and neither. In order to support her little brother, Thaddeus, and her grandmother, she relies upon her skills in beetle-wing embroidery that have been passed down to her through generations of Indian women.
When a stranger appears with the news that Thaddeus is now Baron Sunderson and must travel to England to take his place as a nobleman, Ottilie is shattered by the secrets that come to light. Despite her growing friendship with Everett Scott, friend to Ottilie’s English grandmother and aunt, she refuses to give up her brother. Then tragedy strikes, and she is forced to make a decision that will take Thaddeus far from death and herself far from home.
But betrayal and loss lurk in England, too, and soon Ottilie must fight to ensure Thaddeus doesn’t forget who he is, as well as find a way to stitch a place for herself in this foreign land.
