Set in France towards the end of the fifteenth century, this wonderful book shows how a series of tapestries were made for a nobleman close to the Court. Its title refers to these, but it is far more than an 'art history' book. Many trades are involved - artists, dyers, financiers and weavers - but the real artist is Tracy Chevalier, who weaves a complicated sequence of intrigues, seductions, ambitions and betrayals into a rich, interesting and engrossing story.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Passed on to our friend Alison, because she very much enjoyed The Girl with the Pearl Earring some time ago, and we know she will appreciate this next book by Tracy Chevalier.
