| Summary: | The year is 1569, and in a cold, stone room in a Staffordshire castle, a group of women sew elaborate tapestries. Rich or poor, at home or held against their will, four women's lives intersect on the point of a needle. Embroidery is their escape, their sanity and their expression, of love, loss, artistry and power. For these women's stitches have the power to change not just their own lives, but the course of English history. |
