The tenth gift a novel

Book On CD 2008

July 1625: pirates sail into a quiet Cornish bay and storm the church. Sixty men, women and children are kidnapped and bound for the slave markets of Morocco. Among them is 'Cat', a talented embroiderer who is anything but a compliant slave. Four hundred years later, Julia Lovat is given Cat's pattern book. Julia notices diary entries in the margins and plunges into piecing together Cat's story.
