What if the greatest eyewitness to 1066 was a woman whose story has remained hidden for nearly a thousand years?
When medieval historian Madeleine Broder inherits an eleventh-century manuscript connected to the Bayeux Tapestry, she believes she has discovered an extraordinary work of historical fiction. But as she translates its faded Latin, she encounters the unforgettable voice of Leofgyth, a gifted embroiderer in the household of Queen Edith, wife of Edward the Confessor.
As England moves inexorably towards the Norman Conquest, Leofgyth witnesses the rivalries, betrayals and private lives behind history's most famous events. Through her eyes, the world that would inspire the Bayeux Tapestry comes vividly to life—not through the ambitions of kings alone, but through the women whose artistry and courage have been all but erased from history.
As Madeleine follows Leofgyth's story, her own search for answers uncovers unexpected connections between family, memory and the stories we inherit.
Spanning a thousand years, Tapestry is an immersive dual-timeline historical novel about love, loss, resilience and the women whose voices history almost forgot. Perfect for readers of Tracy Chevalier, Geraldine Brooks and Maggie O'Farrell.
