Praise for The Tapestry of Time 'No one writes historical fantasy like Kate Heartfield and she is at the top of her game in The Tapestry of Time. While this WWII novel never shies away from the moral complexities of war, readers will cheer for the Sharp sisters as they each find their unique strengths, both mundane and fantastic, in the fight against fascism and to reunite and redefine their family. By the end, you’ll want to raise the V for victory in triumph' M. Darusha Wehm, author of Hamlet, Prince of Robots and winner of the Sir Julius Vogel award 'Kate Heartfield’s The Tapestry of Time is a stunning book that perfectly marries a World War II story of resistance with the supernatural. It’s speculative historical fiction at its very best, and kept me turning pages late into the night' Jenny Rae Rappaport, author of Girls With Needles and Frost 'The Tapestry of Time is a promise that love is stronger than hate and that families and communities are our strongest bastions. It celebrates the vital, but too often unsung, role that women played, and continue to play, in the fight against fascism. Kate Heartfield gets better with every single book and this one is simply terrific' Hayden Trenholm, Aurora Award winning author of The Passion of Ivan Rodriguez 'Kate Heartfield's novels are personal favorites. This WWII thriller mixes psychic spies, four sisters, and the Bayeux Tapestry in surprisingly fiendish ways' Rosemary Jones, author of The Bootlegger's Dance
