From medieval France to modern-day Argentina, Clare Hunter chronicles the stories of individuals who have used these everyday skills to convey messages of protest, identity, and memory.

With its global scope and personal perspective, Threads of Life is a fascinating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in history, culture, and the human experience.
