About this listen
A stunning book set in the Edwardian era about a seamstress working at Buckingham Palace. Full of drama, betrayal and compelling historical detail, perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley and Tracy Rees.
It is 1914 and Maria, a shy teenager, is appointed to Buckingham Palace as a seamstress for the royal family.
There, she is lucky enough to meet the Prince of Wales and is soon captivated by his glamour and intensity. But theirs is a doomed love affair and before long Maria’s life takes a tragic turn.
Torn between passion and integrity, she makes a choice that has devastating consequences …
Can a beautiful quilt, discovered many years later reveal the truth behind what happened to Maria?

Surprisingly Good
I had no preconceived ideas about this book and was taken on an incredible journey, the pieces of the story crafted like the quilt, each section coming together and connecting to make a wonderfully intriguing story.

The Quilting Theme.
Overall I liked this but it took me until about half way through to really get in to the story. The narrator’s male character voices sounded forced.
