From the bookflap: "A set of bewitching medieval tapestries hangs today in a protected chamber in Paris. They appear to portray a woman's seduction of a unicorn, but the story behind their making is unknown—until now."

Bought from the bargain table at my local Barnes & Noble because I read and enjoyed Girl with A Pearl Earring by the same author.

I enjoyed this story that was told from different characters' points of view, almost as if they were each a different color thread being woven into the tapestry of the story and the story of the tapestry.

Tracy Chevalier created a lush and vivid world for her characters. I feel like I learned a lot about tapestry making and the time period without ever feeling "taught." The information was woven into the story in such a way that I just absorbed it. I thought it was well done.

RELEASE NOTES:

Plan to leave in a BookCrossing release bag outside the Westmoreland Museum of American Art as part of dicentragirl's SSM 1111: Art for Art’s Sake

Did it seem odd to find this lying around? Rest assured it's not lost and it's not forgotten. Feel free to read it, pass it on to a friend, or release it in the wild like I did. You can even keep it, if you like, but are books really happy when they're just sitting on a shelf? I'd have to say no.
