About
The chaotic humor of family life combines with all things crafty, in this feel-good read—with patterns!
Laura Lovegrove is leaving behind her seamless life in London. Her architect husband Adi has been relocated to rural Norfolk, a far cry from the ultra-urban life they know. Though Laura knew village life would be different, she didn't foresee a shabby cottage, nosy neighbors, errant poodles, and even an ex turning up. Chris had been her big love at art college and seeing him again is utterly confusing. Is she really so different from the impulsive student who once trawled resale shops for vintage treasures? When a fire all but destroys Laura's collection of vintage clothes, she's heartbroken—and seriously lacking in outfits. But, salvaging what she can, Laura makes do and mends; sewing purses, bags, and even dog leashes. Soon, she's inundated with orders. But Adi is becoming more and more distant, as if there's something he's not telling her. Can Laura make a stitch in time and pull her family back together again?
