'A fascinating generational saga ... beautifully written' Patricia Scanlan
One family. Three generations. And the threads that bind them together ...
Ambitious TV producer Penny has always been a planner. She knows exactly what her future looks like - until an
unexpected pregnancy forces her to rethink everything, especially her relationship with the baby's father.
Penny's mum Val raised her alone and always taught her daughter to be independent. So why is Penny pushing Val away now, when she needs her more than ever?
To help heal this rift, Marguerite, Val's recently widowed mother, joins Val in sewing together a keepsake quilt for the baby. But as the quilt takes shape, memories surface, and all three women begin to discover more about each other than they ever could have imagined. As the arrival of their new family member approaches, will they finally realise that maybe they've been looking for happiness in all the wrong places?
'Warm, funny and full of heart' Claudia Carroll
'A beautifully crafted story, I loved it' Mary Kennedy
Set between bustling London and a sleepy village in Ireland's Wicklow mountains, The Keepsake Quilters tells the stories of three generations of women and the patchwork of fabrics that reconciles their unspoken family past with their dysfunctional present, and the possibility of a joyful future
