The Tapestry of Time is a historical novel set during World War II that follows the Sharp family, who possess a psychic ability. Kit, an archivist in Paris, is involved in a romantic entanglement and is fascinated by the Bayeux Tapestry, which the Nazis believe holds predictive powers. Ivy is a member of the Special Operations Executive, where she engages in espionage and sabotage.
The plot themes of love, heroism, and the supernatural against the backdrop of war.The characters are intriguing, particularly Kit and Ivy. Their personal struggles and the supernatural elements add depth. However, I found that the supernatural elements occasionally felt somewhat forced and detracted from the historical aspects of the story.
Overall, it is a good historical novel.
I am not really an historical book reader however this one really caught my attention. I was a little disappointed, I loved kit but really the book didn’t capture me. I would recommend it as it may just have been out of my comfort zone but it definitely was not for me.
Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for this eCopy to review
