I really enjoyed this story set in Winchester, England between the world wars. Violet lost her older brother and her fiancee in WWI, and makes her living as an office typist. After her father's death, she found that living with her mother was too stifling, so she got a room and a new typing job in Winchester. She joined the group of broderers who were making kneelers and cushions for the Cathedral. I enjoyed Violet's journey and the beautiful details about the sewing and designs.
