Sinopsis

The book shows the journey from the American Dream to the American Tragedy. And this path is shown through the life of an ordinary young man, Clyde Griffiths. Clyde, a young man from a poor large family of street preachers, not alien to vanity, pride, but deprived of education, ends up in Lycurgus, where he receives a position in a factory of wealthy relatives. Here he meets and becomes close to the worker Roberta Alden, a sweet, modest girl. From that moment on, everything changes.

    🧶 Yarn shop owner and master knitter Stella Stitchwell is hosting the annual Fiber Arts Festival in her cozy shop, "The Yielding Yarn," when a renowned textile designer is found strangled with a rare, hand-spun wool yarn. The murder weapon comes from Stella's own exclusive inventory, making her the prime suspect. To clear her name, Stella must unravel the tangled relationships within her tight-knit crafting community. With help from her weekly knitting circle and a handsome local sheep farmer, Stella follows a trail of fiber clues—from dye lot discrepancies to distinctive spinning techniques that point to specific artisans. Each knitted pattern, woven design, and spun yarn holds coded messages about jealousy, stolen designs, and decades-old creative rivalries. But as Stella stitches together the evidence, she discovers the killer is someone she's trusted with her patterns and her friendship—and they're weaving a final, fatal design with Stella at the center.

    The tense and emotional saga of one resilient young woman’s survival in the lawlessness of post-Libération France, by the New York Times bestselling author of the Aimée Leduc series 
      
    August, 1945: Badly traumatized by the last few months of Nazi occupation, orphaned, and pregnant through a story too painful and dangerous to tell, seventeen-year-old Huguette Faure seeks refuge at a convent. Her father, before he was killed by vigilantes, made powerful enemies, and Huguette has a target on her back. But not even when her baby is born does she find peace—and after narrowly avoiding jail time thanks to the kindness of a Parisian police officer, though she feels ready to give up, she instead decides to try for one last chance for a new life. She cashes in one of her father’s IOUs at a film studio on the outskirts of Paris, where she gets a job assisting a legendary film director. Once she goes from helping him with chores to cooking his books, she sees an opportunity to change her fortunes—and to break free from the ghosts of her past once and for all. 
      
    Over the next few years of Huguette’s life, she goes from the black market to the film industry, from Paris to Lyon, from child to woman. National and New York Times bestseller Cara Black has been an expert in all things France for decades; now, in her most expansive, emotional work yet, she uses the vessel of Huguette, this enterprising and complex young heroine, to immerse readers in the harsh reality of life after Libération.
