‘Tremendously uplifting and life-affirming. A feel-good read that tugs on the heart strings’ – Historical Novels Review

One winter’s night, Molly Ernshaw rescues a newborn baby from the snow and changes two families for ever. The tiny girl grows into a beautiful and gifted young woman. Although devoted to Molly, Amy has far-reaching ambitions – encouraged by her neighbour’s son, Toby, she longs to move beyond ribbon-weaving to designing the hats and clothes the ribbons adorn. Her talent is recognised by Samuel Forrester, the influential owner of famous hat factories and shops. But Samuel is a haunted man with secrets in his past that torture him and his family. His son’s wife, Eugenie, is deeply troubled, and when Amy’s flair leads her to London and then Paris, Eugenie is consumed with jealousy. Amy’s dreams seem to be coming true, but as more secrets are revealed and Amy is caught between two worlds, she must choose where her heart truly belongs.

What readers are saying about The Ribbon Weaver:

‘Couldn’t put this book down, Rosie Goodwin is a great writer. She brought together so many feelings that we all have. There’s joy, heartache, and everyday life in the mid-1800s in this story… Definitely a 5 star rating’

‘This is a great book and another superb story from Rosie Goodwin who is now by far my favourite writer. This is an inspiring story… and as usual there are the twists and turns that keep you turning those pages. The details and accounts of the era are excellent as are the descriptions of the characters and surroundings. Can’t wait for my next Rosie Goodwin read!’
