It is 1911, and Jean is about to join the mass strike at the Singer factory. For her, nothing will be the same again.

Decades later, Connie sews coded moments of her life into a notebook, as her mother did before her. More than 100 years after his grandmother's sewing machine was made, Fred unpicks the secrets of four generations, one stitch at a time.

I have Scottish heritage and loved listening to this story. It was well written and told. I could visualize in my mind all the characters and how they must have looked along with their flats.
I will probably listen to it again. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

I found the chopping and changing between eras & characters a bit hard to follow, may be better in print, cos if you miss the sentence where there’s a change in era, your lost. It’s ok, but by no means a fav.

Keep hold of the thread!
