Historical
An enthralling story of secrets and discovering love
where you least expect it, in The Tenth Gift the art
of embroidery uncannily links two fascinating women of
different eras and their equally passionate love stories In an expensive London restaurant, Julia Lovat receives a
gift that changes her life. At first glance it is a book of
exquisite seventeenth-century embroidery patterns belonging
to a woman named Catherine Ann Tregenna. Yet in its margins
are the faintest diary entries; they reveal that “Cat” and
others were stolen from their Cornish church in 1625 by
Muslim pirates and taken on a brutal voyage to Morocco to be
auctioned off as slaves. Captivated by this dramatic
discovery, Julia sets off to North Africa to determine the
authenticity of the book and to uncover more of Cat’s
mesmerizing story. There, in the company of a charismatic
Moroccan guide, amid the sultry heat, the spice markets, and
exotic ruins, Julia will discover secrets long buried. And
in Morocco—just as Cat did before her—she will lose her heart. Though they live almost 400 years apart, the stories of
these two women converge in an extraordinary and haunting
manner that begs the question, is history fated to repeat
itself?
