Tapestry of War
Tapestry of War | Jane MacKenzie
8 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
From the deserts of North Africa, to the waters of Scotland, the Second World War touches the lives of two women from two very different worlds. In Alexandria, Fran finds her world turned upside down as Rommels forces advance on the idyllic shores of Egypt. The life of luxury and stability that she is used to is taken away as she finds herself having to deal with loss, heartache and political uncertainty. Meanwhile, in the Firth of Clyde, Catriona struggles between her quiet rural life and her dreams of nursing injured servicemen on the front lines. As the war rages on, the two womens lives become intertwined bringing love and friendship to both.

Time for tea and finishing my book. It‘s taken me much longer to finish Tapestry of War than it would usually take for a book this size because uni and life have been hectic lately. I‘m throughly enjoying it though and need to find out how it ends. It hits stores April 19th so mark your calendars, you‘re not going to want to miss it! #historicalfiction #WWII #warfiction #booklover #bookblogger #bookish #bibliophile #books

Words cannot even describe how beautiful this book is. A Sad, lovely, wonderful story with deep and charming characters. I haven‘t enjoyed a book so much in a while. Fran and Catriona are wonderful and inspiring characters. #historicalfiction #warfiction #WWII #arc #booklover #bookish #bibliophile #currentread #bookblogger

I‘m completely adoring Tapestry of War and all the characters. I love that the story is based on the events the author and her family went through. It‘s wonderful. I find you can really tell how heartfelt and personal it is and it reflects in the writing and makes the book all the more enjoyable. If you have any amazing WWI or II fiction to recommend please do so? #WWII #historicalfiction #arc #allisonandbusby #bookish #booklover #bookblogger

Oh my goodness. This afternoon has been taxing! And almost car crash and my dad‘s resulting road rage has left me and my daughter a bit edgy but she‘s recovering nicely with bourbons now we‘re safe at home. I‘ve been asked to take part in a blog tour for this amazing book and I‘m very excited though I don‘t know my role yet. I hope you‘re all well? #bookandbag #arc #historicalfiction #bibliophile #bookish #booklover

It looks so bright and sunny out and I want to sit in the garden and read.... but it‘s all lies, it‘s freezing out there! And with more snow expected next week! Can we just have summer yet? My current read is set in Egypt and the sunny beaches are making me feel a little warmer and brighter but, it would be much more fun outside! #arc #currentread #bookish #prettybook #beautifulbook #bibliophile #bookblogger

ju.ca.no Lovely bookmark! 6y
alisiakae The sun can be so deceiving on cold days! 6y
BookishBelle When that happens it always reminds me of the BNL song lyric “It‘s colder than it looks outside...” 6y

Sophoclessweetheart @ju.ca.no Thank you so much, my friend made it x 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @4thhouseontheleft I know right? Damn English weather hah xx 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @BookishBelle I don‘t know that one but I‘d definitely agree 😹 6y
catebutler I keep thinking spring is almost here and then it snows again. It‘s currently pouring outside, which means it will turn to snow again.... here‘s to warm weather hopefully around the corner! 🤞🏼 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @catebutler fingers crossed 🤞 We Have more snow predicted for next week but I am so over winter now and it‘s usually my favourite season 😅 6y
catebutler @Wanderingwithwords I normally dread winter, but I‘ve been trying to be better about embracing the seasons. We had a relatively mild winter this year, which was nice, but I do hate when it snows heavily, everything just shuts down. Spring is one of my favourite seasons, so I‘ve been watching for the signs. Hopefully the snow won‘t be too bad for you this next week! 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @catebutler We‘ve had a mild winter too which was a nice change. I love the snow so getting some was nice but it‘s getting crazy now. 😹😹 6y

I‘m currently suffering “women‘s problems” so I‘m snuggling in a ball with my current read, buying masses of WWII fiction/nonfiction online and waiting for my new clothes to arrive. I justify my actions by buying my daughter new clothes and books too, it‘s not unjust spending if we both get treats, right? #historicalfiction #WorldWar #arc #allisonandbusby #currentread #prettybook #bibliophile #bookish #beautifulbook

TrishB Sounds perfectly acceptable to me 👍🏻 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @TrishB Wonderful. I like how you think 😘😹💛 6y
laurieluna Yep! Retail therapy is the best during times like this! 😊 6y
Sophoclessweetheart @miralunasbooknook Definitely so! I feel much better knowing I have fresh new clothes and books 🤣💛 6y

Another ARC for my next read, this one a historical fiction from Allison and Busby. It hits stores April 19th 2018. This one is one of my anticipated releases for this year so I‘m honoured and grateful to be able to read it early. It is of course Tapestry of War by Jane MacKenzie, is this on your radar? #historicalfiction #prettybook #bookish #bibliophile #bookworm #beautifulbook #bookmark #WWII #allisonandbusby #arc
