ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A THRILLING NOVEL WOVEN WITH THE VOICES OF SEVEN BRAVE WOMEN. The long-awaited narrative debut by Luca Chacn (@menudonumerito) «Sewing was much more than joining pieces of cloth. With great enthusiasm, fabrics, and threads we were building something that really mattered to us. Sewing meant sharing, creating, dreaming. Yes, sewing became more and more like living . Madrid, 1991. Seven very different women meet at a small sewing academy where they will share their lives' stories with each other. Each one has a different reason to want to learn to sew and, among fabrics, patterns, and pins, all of them will connect with parts of themselves that they thought were long gone and forgotten, they will discover the therapeutic power of friendships between women and, stitch after stitch, they will weave the story of their past loves, pains, and family secrets. An unforgettable story that shows us that in sewing, just as in life, almost everything has a solution; that making mistakes and learning go hand in hand, and that each stitch always offers a lesson. Julia always dreamed of having her own academy so she can share with other women her love for sewing that she has had since she was little. Amelia has just become a widow after spending her whole life in her husband's shadow. Sara needs a break. She came to the academy looking for a way to escape from a monotonous and bland life that took her away from her dreams. Catherine arrived in Spain in the sixties and is the voice of wisdom. Sewing and sharing her life story will help her connect with her youth. Margarita is Mexican, she is married to a diplomat, has two children and, although she leads a comfortable life, sometimes she feels like a stranger far from her home. Laura is one of those women who needs to show the world that she can handle anything, that she is a great professional and an excellent mother. But she also needs time for herself. Marta, modern and lively, is the youngest of all. She entered the academy encouraged by her grandmother, although her interests are very different from the rest of the women's interests.
