THE SEAMSTRESS
Book ID/图书代码： 13341018C00012
English Summary/英文概要： A beautifully crafted story breathes life into the cameo character from the classic novel A Tale of Two Cities.
France, 1788
It is the best of times . . .
On a tranquil farm nestled in the French countryside, two orphaned cousins―Renée and Laurette―have been raised under the caring guardianship of young ??mile Gagnon, the last of a once-prosperous family. No longer starving girls, Laurette and Renée now spend days tending Gagnon’s sheep, and nights in their cozy loft, whispering secrets and dreams in this time of waning innocence and peace.
It is the worst of times . . .
Paris groans with a restlessness that can no longer be contained within its city streets. Hunger and hatred fuel her people. Violence seeps into the ornate halls of Versailles. Even Gagnon’s table in the quiet village of Mouton Blanc bears witness to the rumbles of rebellion, where Marcel Moreau embodies its voice and heart.
It is the story that has never been told.
In one night, the best and worst of fate collide. A chance encounter with a fashionable woman will bring Renée’s sewing skills to light and secure a place in the court of Queen Marie Antoinette. An act of reckless passion will throw Laurette into the arms of the increasingly militant Marcel. And Gagnon, steadfast in his faith in God and country, can only watch as those he loves march straight into the heart of the revolution.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个制作精美的故事为经典小说《双城记》中的配角赋予了生命。
法国(1788年)是最好的时代…
在法国乡下一个宁静的农场里，两个孤儿——蕾妮和劳蕾特，一个曾经富裕的家庭的最后的成员。不再是饥饿的女孩，劳蕾特和蕾妮现在白天照顾加格农的羊，晚上在他们舒适的阁楼里，在这个纯真与和平逐渐消逝的时刻，低声说出秘密和梦想。
这是最糟糕的时代……
巴黎的大街小巷再也无法容纳它的躁动不安。饥饿和仇恨助长了她的人民。暴力渗透进凡尔赛华丽的大厅。即使是在宁静的莫顿•勃朗村，加格农的桌子也见证了叛乱的轰鸣声，马塞尔•莫罗代表了叛乱的声音和心声。
这是一个从未被讲述过的故事。
在一个晚上，最好的和最坏的命运碰撞。与一位时尚女性的偶遇将会使蕾妮的缝纫技术得以曝光，并在玛丽•安托瓦内特王后的宫廷中占有一席之地。鲁莽的激情行为会把劳蕾特投入日益好战的马塞尔的怀抱。加格农对上帝和国家有着坚定的信仰，他只能眼睁睁地看着他所爱的人径直走向革命的中心。（WYL）

In the midst of revolution and royalty, Pittman weaves a captivating tale of two cousins whose humble beginnings birth remarkable journeys. A beautiful, rich tale of love, loss, and amazing faith, The Seamstress is a book that haunts, satisfies, and inspires all at once. I loved this book! (Heidi Chiavaroli, author of Freedom’s Ring and The Hidden Side)
The Seamstress is a study in nostalgia: carefully evoking a classic while establishing itself as a classic in its own right. Deftly and intelligently nodding to its magnanimous source material, A Tale of Two Cities, it remains confident as its own entity. Appealing equally to Dickensian readers and the uninitiated, The Seamstress is a lush, moving, and brilliantly sewn world. The thinking reader’s inspirational read, it is at once rich, beguiling, and accessibly readable. Its aftertaste will spoil you for any other story for a long, long while. (Rachel McMillan, author of the Van Buren and DeLuca series)
Allison Pittman has taken a minor but memorable Dickens character and created a whole world for her, thoroughly researched and beautifully detailed. The seamstress’s rags-to-riches-to-rags story is an endlessly fascinating and touching one. You’ll find yourself caring deeply not just about her, but also about everyone she cares for. (Gina Dalfonzo, founder and editor of Dickensblog)
About the Author/作者介绍： 据我所知，我一直是个作家。我还没来得及动笔，就把故事口授给母亲了。我总是编故事哄自己入睡——每晚编一个新的章节。当上帝召唤我写作时，我很激动能回应他的鼓励。就这样，在与我丈夫进行了长时间的交谈后，我放弃了20年的教学生涯，去追求一个新的方向。这需要很大的信心，但是神保护我和我们的家庭安全。
我把我的每一位读者都看作是上帝对我生命的恩赐之一，我喜欢把我的故事看作是交谈的第一步。
As far as I know, I have always been a writer. Before I could put words to page, I would dictate stories to my mother. I have always lulled myself to sleep by crafting stories--a new chapter each night. When God called me to write, I was thrilled to answer His prompting. And so it was, after a long conversation with my husband, I left a 20-year teaching career to pursue a new direction. It called for a HUGE step of faith, but God has kept me and our family safe.
I count every single one of my readers as one of God’s blessings in my life, and I like to think of my stories as being the first step in a conversation.
