A wonderful read
Blackthorn pens a remarkable historical story in Emma's Tapestry. I have read work from this author before, and I really enjoyed it. This author brings the story to life. The characters had a lot of depth and were very realistic. This story just takes the reader back in time. The story is about the author's great-grandmother, at least her story plus the grand imagination of the author as well. It is a very well-written story, and I just couldn't put it down. It is always a joy to read this author's stories. This author is not just a writer but a great storyteller. This story captures the reader's attention at chapter 1. This read is so engrossing that it brings you right in the middle of the story. This read is more than just words on a page. Emma is a magnetic character, and the life that she goes through, not just to survive, but to find out the truth. She's one to literally blend in and hide who she is so she can survive and "fit" in. The story her patient's connection with Oscar Wilde brings out something in her, and then the story continues from there. Triumphs, tragedies and the in-between. Read from cover to cover! Emma's Tapestry is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews. I look forward to reading many more stories by this author.
