Every stitch contains a spark of rebellion…
Occupied Ukraine, 1940. Zirka and her cousin Perla embroider quietly by candlelight in their old dressmaker’s shop. War is raging: and hidden in the intricate traditional embroidery are secret messages for the resistance. If the two women are caught, or betrayed, it would mean certain death…
Lviv, 2022 . As Ana gazes around at the peeling wallpaper, she hopes the little shop she was shocked to inherit will bring her closer to the memory of her grandmother Zirka. After Ana’s mother suddenly refused to see or speak to Zirka decades ago, Ana has been desperate to find out what tore them apart.
But Ana finds a diary stashed in a long-forgotten kitchen drawer. The pages inside tell of a secret sewing society vital to the war effort, a doomed love affair, and a woman on the run with a newborn.
Will Ana ever discover the truth about her family? And now war has come again to this beautiful city, will Ana learn that some wartime secrets are too dangerous to uncover?
The Secret Sewing Society is a sweeping, heartbreaking tale about a devastating family mystery, and generations of women coming together against the odds. Fans of Evie Woods, Fiona Valpy and The Keeper of Happy Endings will be utterly swept away.
