I very much enjoyed The Seamstress despite it not being the sort of novel I'd usually pick up. It was part of my Read Around the World challenge and I'm glad someone recced it to me.

I think it's a great book, and like you it's not the sort of novel I'd normally read, so I'm also very glad it was recced.

Through my library's interlibrary loan system (so the Maryland state system which goes beyond our county) I have requested The Seamstress. I shall count it as 'recommended' on my Bingo card :)

Excellent. I hope you enjoy it.
