A SINGLE THREAD

by | Read by Fenella Woolgar

Historical Fiction • 10.75 hrs. • Unabridged • © 2019

Narrator Fenella Woolgar portrays Violet Speedwell, one of WWI's "surplus women." Facing a postwar life of spinsterhood, Violet is determined to make her life meaningful. The story opens as she leaves her mother's home for a fresh start in Winchester, the site of a renowned cathedral. The large cast of characters is brought to life by Woolgar's masterful tone, pacing, and use of accents to bring their diverse personalities to life. Her delivery of narrative is consistent and melodious. Violet's own voice slowly but surely gains strength as her new life takes shape. The whining bitterness of her mother, the exuberance of Gilda, the self-contained confidence of Dorothy, the overbearing impatience of Mrs. Biggins, and the friendliness of Mrs. Pesel bring the cathedral's embroiderers to life.
