About this listen

Calcutta, 1886. Ottilie Russell is adrift between two cultures, British and Indian, belonging to both and neither. In order to support her little brother, Thaddeus, and her grandmother, she relies upon her skills in beetle-wing embroidery that have been passed down to her through generations of Indian women.

When a stranger appears with the news that Thaddeus is now Baron Sunderson and must travel to England to take his place as a nobleman, Ottilie is shattered by the secrets that come to light. Despite her growing friendship with Everett Scott, friend to Ottilie's English grandmother and aunt, she refuses to give up her brother. Then tragedy strikes, and she is forced to make a decision that will take Thaddeus far from death and herself far from home.

But betrayal and loss lurk in England, too, and soon, Ottilie must fight to ensure Thaddeus doesn't forget who he is, as well as find a way to stitch a place for herself in this foreign land.

A Lovely Tale

Well written, sometimes falls into tropes that many romance novels have, however, it was worth the listen and I enjoyed it thoroughly!

Bravo!

After 15 hours (audio edition) I was not ready for it to end. What a rich story Ms. Duffy has woven together, with truly engaging characters and a strong sense of scenery and history. There is also so much depth and application for the reader, with twists and turns and a sweet slow-burn romance too! Simply a must-read!

Beautiful

A story of redemption and inclusion of all of God’s children under His banner of Love. It is enhanced by Ms.Mathan’s talent to make words jump off the page and weave the rich textures of the author’s creation.

Beautiful story of faith, loss, hope and enduring love!

I absolutely loved both the story and the performance! This book drew me in with its vivid descriptions and heartfelt dialogue - I felt immersed in the sites, sounds and spicy scents of India. The portrayals of grief and loss the main character experienced were so raw and realistic that they brought me to tears, and when she felt surges of hope - made my heart feel lighter. The narrator managed to create a separate persona with his / her distinctive voice and accent for the majority of the characters, so the dialogues were easy to follow.
I did not want the story to end.

Thank you so much for the wonderful story and masterful narration!

Her human, but chosen and steadfast faith in the Lord.

Like the gift of embroidery, this story provides many intricate connections leading to an intriguing variety of satisfying conclusions. An excellent book all around and one that I will not only highly recommend, but listen to again. I love a book that compels me to do a fair amount of research out of pure curiosity!

A lovely and heartbreaking yet hopeful story

A lovely and heartbreaking yet hopeful story of loss and life, of strength and faith. The imagery was so vivid I imagined myself among the sights and scents of India as well as England. I feel as if I walked with Ottilie every step of her journey and I've come out of the story the better for it.

Wonderful writing, impeccable historical research and memorable characters. Great narration! I'll be thinking of this story long after I've finished it. I look forward to this author's next book!
