ABOUT THE BOOK:
Title: A Tapestry of Light
Author: Kimberly Duffy
Publisher: Bethany House Publishers
Release date: March 16, 2021
Genre: Christian Historical Romance
Calcutta, 1886.Ottilie Russell is adrift between two cultures, British and Indian, belonging to both and neither. In order to support her little brother, Thaddeus, and her grandmother, she relies upon her skills in beetle-wing embroidery that have been passed down to her through generations of Indian women.When a stranger appears with the news that Thaddeus is now Baron Sunderson and must travel to England to take his place as a nobleman, Ottilie is shattered by the secrets that come to light. Despite her growing friendship with Everett Scott, friend to Ottilie's English grandmother and aunt, she refuses to give up her brother. Then tragedy strikes, and she is forced to make a decision that will take Thaddeus far from death and herself far from home.But betrayal and loss lurk in England, too, and soon Ottilie must fight to ensure Thaddeus doesn't forget who he is, as well as find a way to stitch a place for herself in this foreign land.
EXCERPT:
“You’re young. There’s no reason to say you’ll never marry. Why? No. You will marrysomeday, and it might as well be someone who can feed us. Keep Thaddeus in school.” Nānīcrossed her arms, matching Ottilie’s posture.Nānī didn’t know. Had never met Victor. Had never seen him resplendent in his gold-braided uniform. Had never been tugged into a dark corner of the Imperial Museum and held in his arms. Had never heard Ottilie whisper a frantic yes when he proposed. Hadn’t noticed whenOttilie wept when it ended only four months after Papa’s death. Because there had been so much weeping, and how would she know Ottilie shed tears over a cowardly soldier, not again for the loss of father and siblings?She didn’t know, and Ottilie wouldn’t tell her. And even if Ottilie did, one day, set aside hervow not to marry, she wouldn’t be coerced into a marriage of convenience. Not when she’dgrown up watching the restrained passion and evident love between her parents. “I don’t love him, Nānī. I never could.”“Psssh, love. What did it bring me but heartache? Even your mother suffered from it. Betterto marry a man you merely like so that if he rejects you, you won’t grow cold, and if he dies, you won’t grow weak from grief.”Ottilie stood and looked down at her grandmother, able to see the fear in Nānī’s drawn face.Her grandmother only wanted to spare them the indignity of poverty. Her stubborn meddling was birthed in love and concern.Ottilie held out her hand and helped Nānī to her feet. Placing her hands on hergrandmother’s narrow shoulders, she pressed a kiss to her forehead. “I love you and would do almost anything to see you happy, but I won’t do this. I’d rather marry no man than marry a man I feel as much for as I do a jackfruit.”
