The next in the award-winning series takes place in the Tudor court, as a gutsy former novice risks everything to defy the most powerful men.

Following "The Crown" and "The Chalice", this is the latest novel in the series set at the Tudor court, featuring Joanna Stafford. She resolves to live a quiet life weaving tapestries, but one of her works draws the attention of King Henry VIII.

"Nancy Bilyeau’s The Tapestry continues her excellent incursion into the turbulent and high-stakes world of the Tudor Reformation in England. It was a time when principle and faith had to do battle with arbitrary power and personal fear to keep surviving. The narrative voice draws us into the story from the first page and drives us forward to the end.What is most striking about the book is how it cleverly intertwines the history and political intrigue in the court of Henry VIII with an account of an intensely personal drama and romance. A vivid story, well and clearly told, which will be enjoyable for a wide variety of readers."
