They work side by side, stitching their stories into the fabric, piecing together their histories in such a beautiful and communal way. Each quilt is unique, sharing memories from the past or hopes for the future or to celebrate events, each with a theme and a message all it's own.
The story is based around these women, but is also largely about a young woman named Finn, the granddaughter of one of these women who comes to visit. Finn is engaged to a man she loves, but is struggling to figure out her life and unsure of what to do with it.
With the help of these women of multi generations, much like a quilt being pieced together, the stories of each of these vibrant lady's lives becomes clear and entwined and come together to create something extraordinary, a stunning novel like a beautiful big cozy quilt.
I highly enjoyed wrapping myself in this novel and suggest you do as well.
