Violet is 38.
The First World War took everything from her. Her brother, her fiancé – and her future. She is now considered a 'surplus woman'.
But Violet is also fiercely independent and determined. Escaping her suffocating mother, she moves to Winchester to start a new life –a change that will require courage, resilience and acts of quiet rebellion. And when whispers of another world war surface, she must live with a secret that could change everything…
A Single Thread, a historical and literary fiction by Sunday Times bestselling author Tracy Chevalier, tells the story of Violet, a woman determined to carve out a new life for herself in the wake of the First World War. As she navigates her new life in Winchester, whispers of another world war begin to surface, adding another layer of complexity to her journey.
