The Sewing Machine

De: Natalie Fergie

Narrado por: Angus King, Ruth Urquhart

It is 1911, and Jean is about to join the mass strike at the Singer factory. For her, nothing will be the same again.

Decades later, Connie sews coded moments of her life into a notebook, as her mother did before her. More than 100 years after his grandmother's sewing machine was made, Fred unpicks the secrets of four generations, one stitch at a time.

Loved the history and the story!

I have Scottish heritage and loved listening to this story. It was well written and told. I could visualize in my mind all the characters and how they must have looked along with their flats.
I will probably listen to it again. Thoroughly enjoyed it!

very enjoyable!

A very enjoyable story of both machine and the people thru the years and how they were connected.

A terrific read

An amazing and wonderful story! I loved this book. It was also had super narrators. Very worthy of a second listen-which I rarely do.

A machine brings two families together.

A great history of two families through recent events, told in a unique back and forth through time method.

Keep hold of the thread!

I found the chopping and changing between eras & characters a bit hard to follow, may be better in print, cos if you miss the sentence where there’s a change in era, your lost. It’s ok, but by no means a fav.
