[a] fascinating and rewarding novel. - The New York Times
Backstitch is a splendid, irreducible work of art - about making art, about time, about memory, about the stars in the heavens, and maybe most of all about family. - Paul Harding, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Tinkers
Two sisters, Violet and Marigold, reunite at a retrospective of their troubled mother's art. Together they must confront the consequences of her ambition and the difficult, private reality of the family's public narrative. Moving through the gallery's rooms and through time to arrive at the truth of her life and death, the daughters unravel their family ties, the gift and cost of artistic talent, and the legacy that they must carry.
