Summary

Ellie Tyler dreams of a life beyond that of her drunken, tyrannical father and the dangerous East London gangland. Her only refuge is in her artistic talents, which she hopes will one day help her escape. But when forced to give up her education and endure horrific abuse at the hands of her father, before finally being abandoned by the man she loved, Ellie runs away to a small Essex village.

After landing a job at the silk mill, and with the encouragement of Alex, the mill owner, Ellie rediscovers her creativity and starts to rebuild her life. But having suffered the unimaginable, will Ellie find happiness again or will the “threads of silk” forever bind her to her past?

Great story to listen to

Thoroughly enjoyed this engrossing story of Ellie and her trials and ambitions. What made the story for me is the wonderful narration by Penelope Freeman, she brings the story to life with her different character voices, how she does it, is amazing. In fact when choosing an audible book now, I look for books narrated by her because I'm sure to enjoy it!
