Jennifer Chiaverini’s new book in the Elm Creek Quilt series, The Quilter’s Homecoming, (#19 on the NYTimes bestseller list!) takes you from Pennsylvania to California. We learn what happened to Sylvia’s favorite older cousin Elizabeth during those years when they didn’t hear much from her.
If you recall, in a previous novel, Sylvia wonders why they never heard from Elizabeth after she married Henry and moved to California. Then in another novel there was a slight reference to Elizabeth and a letter she wrote.
Now we learn Elizabeth’s fascinating story, woven into the history of that area during the 1920s and 30s. Quilts play a role in this book, of course…quilts Elizabeth brought with her and those she found, repaired, and made in California.
