About this listen
In Judea, under the brutal rule of King Herod, a woman yearns for a child but is outcast when she does not fall pregnant. Against all convention, she masters the art of glassblowing, a creative act she believes will keep her dream of motherhood alive.
In Renaissance Florence, a young wife is left penniless by her hopelessly unfaithful husband and struggles to find a way to support herself and her young son.
In contemporary Australia, a talented textile conservator, devastated by loss, is desperate to regain control of her life.
Each woman wants something that seems unattainable, and it will take all their courage, creativity and determination to achieve it.
A stunning, sweeping historical novel spanning two thousand years, One Illumined Thread celebrates the power and creative spirit of the female heart, as each woman finds freedom through an extraordinary connection.
This audiobook contains sensitive themes.

'One Illumined Thread is one of those...that will stay with you. The historical depth and authentic character development keep your mind (and heart) immersed long after.' (Books+Publishing)
'Crafted masterfully... This is a story of love – both its presence and absence - but above all, it gives agency to its female protagonists. Extensively researched, expertly written.' (Good Reading)
'So alive and brimming with story, One Illumined Thread held me captive from the start. An exquisite interweaving of history and herstory.' (Lyn Hughes, author of Mr Carver's Whale)

Ambitious but a little dense and complex for a relaxed read
I found parts of the story interesting, and even gripping but I felt there were too many characters to get to grips with, particularly in the unfamiliar timezones/places. The story set in Adelaide was more accessible. The overall story was clever in linking themes to the three central characters in 3 different settings/zones…with the slightly depressing conclusion that it is the woman who is always behind the eight ball..having to working harder with more obstacles to deal with along the way. I am not sorry I read this book, as it was rich in knowledge and imagination, but it felt a little like hard work.
