A nineteenth century Spanish seamstress flees her village for Morocco in a novel with “a magical realist aspect . . . An epic sweep and a richness of characterization” (The Independent). They say Frasquita is a healer with occult powers; that perhaps she is even a sorceress. Indeed, she has a remarkable gift, one that has been passed down to the women in her family for generations. From mere rags, she can create gowns and other garments so magnificent, so alive, that they mask any defect or deformity. They bestow a blinding beauty on whoever wears them. But Frasquita’s gift makes others in her small Andalusian village jealous. And when her gambling husband brings misfortune on their family, Frasquita travels across southern Spain and into Africa with her five children in tow. Her exile becomes a quest for a better life, and a way to free her daughters from the fate of her family of sorcerers. “Like the beautiful frescoes of García Márquez, this novel is a marvelous and lyrical fairytale bursting with colorful characters” —La Revue Littéraire Des Copines

Spanning centuries and continents, "Threads of Destiny" is a captivating novel that weaves together the lives of two couples bound by a shared passion for art, love, and the enduring power of the human spirit. In 16th-century France, Isabeau, a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage, finds solace and forbidden love in the arms of a talented artist. Their clandestine affair, woven into the intricate patterns of a secret tapestry, becomes a symbol of their defiance against societal constraints. Centuries later, in modern-day New York City, Maya Dubois, a gifted art restorer haunted by her own past heartbreak, stumbles upon the Weaver's Tale tapestry, unaware of the profound impact it will have on her life. As she works to restore the tapestry's faded glory, she uncovers a hidden code, a series of cryptic messages that reveal the secrets of Isabeau and Henri's love. Drawn into the tapestry's enigmatic world, Maya finds herself irresistibly drawn to Adrian Moreau, a renowned art historian with his own secrets and family ties to the chateau where the tapestry was discovered. As they collaborate to decipher the tapestry's hidden meanings, their shared passion ignites a spark of attraction, a forbidden tango that dances between the past and present. From the sun-drenched vineyards of France to the bustling streets of New York City, “Threads of Destiny " is a sweeping saga of love, loss, and redemption. It is a story of two couples separated by centuries but united by a shared passion for art, a love that defies societal boundaries, and an enduring belief in the power of the human spirit to overcome adversity.
