This month, we read The Seamstress of Sardinia by Bianca Pitzorno. A limited number of copies are available ahead of time at the library--stop by to check one out from our Book Club display.

"This feminist fairy tale is sure to be a book-club favorite and will appeal to fans of Laura Esquivel, Adriana Trigiani, and Elena Ferrante." - Booklist

"Small descriptive details build an understanding of Sardinia at the turn of the century, creating a fascinating backdrop." - Library Journal

"This sumptuous costume drama has a great deal of heart." - Publishers Weekly
