The Forgotten Seamstress door Liz Trenow
A bit far fetched but I enjoyed it very much.
War kills and maims men, and devastates women. 3 loving women, Alice, an American, Ruby, an Englishwoman and a Martha, a Jewish German join a Thomas Cook tour of the graveyards of their missing loved one. The trip is emotional and somber but includes touching moments of excitement, unexpected friendships and regret.
So much sadness and hope as well.
Good read.

Anna is an independent, kind,smart and resourceful t young woman. She loves to draw and paint the natural scenes with which she grew up. But now in crowded London at her uncle's home she is given little freedom by her arrogant aunt. Anna finds ways of respectfully getting around her limitations.
Observant, she witnesses the unfair and inhumane harrassment faced by talented French weavers, and befriends one of the best, Henri. He is learning to become a master weaver, and is inspired when he sees one of Anna's drawings. They agree to collaborate on Henri's master piece to prove he is worthy of his independence.
But then politics, greed and brutality get in the way but strong-minded and clear-headed Anna comes to the rescue with plans that are a win-win for her family, and especially for Henri and herself.
This book is similar to A Bakery in Paris, with Lisette as the strong and loving heroine who knows what she wants and how to get it.
A very satisfying read.… (meer)
