Anna is an independent, kind,smart and resourceful t young woman. She loves to draw and paint the natural scenes with which she grew up. But now in crowded London at her uncle's home she is given little freedom by her arrogant aunt. Anna finds ways of respectfully getting around her limitations.

Observant, she witnesses the unfair and inhumane harrassment faced by talented French weavers, and befriends one of the best, Henri. He is learning to become a master weaver, and is inspired when he sees one of Anna's drawings. They agree to collaborate on Henri's master piece to prove he is worthy of his independence.

But then politics, greed and brutality get in the way but strong-minded and clear-headed Anna comes to the rescue with plans that are a win-win for her family, and especially for Henri and herself.

This book is similar to A Bakery in Paris, with Lisette as the strong and loving heroine who knows what she wants and how to get it.

A very satisfying read.… (plus d'informations)
