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.

It was an ok storyline. A lot of time periods to keep track of. Not as good as I’d hoped. The narrator did a good job though.

Just average

As a lover of Singer Sewing Machines ands studier of it’s history I really enjoyed this book. The reader had a good accent and read it well, I just don’t like to hear women fake the men’s voices or men fake women’s voices. It’s just not realistic. It can be comical or annoying and detract from the storys

Loved the story

As an avid quilter, listening to the story of this cute little singer sewing machine, was simply delightful. I didn't even know Singer was in Scotland. The back story, history and jumping back and forth in time was well written and easy to follow.
Thank you for a delightful listen!

Amazing.
