对《单线故事》的赞誉
“我爱它。如此引人注目，温暖而微妙，非常感人。”
“我非常喜欢《单线故事》。特雷西·谢瓦利埃精彩地再现了20世纪30年代的社会氛围——这是一个有趣的故事，讲述了一个年轻女性面对当时的习俗和偏见，用丰富的细节和强烈的叙事。”——佩内洛普·莱弗利
“这是一部看似平静、却深深打动人的小说。就像20世纪的简·奥斯丁一样，特雷西用一根细致、美丽的线把你拉了进来，为那些历史环境和狭隘的风俗对她们并不友好的女人带来了新的、不同的幸福。”——路易莎·扬，《你离开得太早》，《亲爱的我想告诉你》得作者
“《单线故事》仍然在畅销书第九位,书商刚刚宣布,特雷西·谢瓦莉埃的《单线故事 》完全适合骑士的细致的场景，温柔的节奏和锐利的眼睛隐藏着伤害和对秘密的渴望。作者在为主人公维奥莱特·斯比德韦尔走向独立的旅程绣大教堂时——没有比这更令人满意的比喻了”。——《每日邮报》的伊丽莎白·巴肯
“称赞谢瓦利埃文笔沉稳，但极富同情心，她“撕开”了它，称它是“一部文笔优美、完全沉浸其中的小说。”—《红衣女郎》作者的安娜·博内说
”分享一个可爱的消息，特雷西·谢瓦莉埃的一个帖子已经登上了意大利的畅销书排行榜。该书由尼禄·波札编辑出版，书名为《绣花者是温彻斯特》。在《新闻报》畅销书排行榜前10名中排名第三。它还在外国文学榜单上排名第二。”
Praise for A Single Thread:
‘I loved it. So compelling and warm and subtle, and very moving’ Bridget Collins, author of The Binding
‘I enjoyed A Single Thread enormously. Tracy Chevalier wonderfully evokes the social climate of the nineteen thirties – this is the intriguing story of a young woman facing the conventions and prejudices of the day, told with a wealth of detail and narrative intensity’ Penelope Lively
‘A deceptively quiet, deeply touching novel. Like a 20th-century Jane Austen, Chevalier draws you in with a careful, beautiful, thread, leading to new and different kinds of happiness for women to whom historical circumstance and parochial mores have not been kind’ Louisa Young, author of You Left Early and My Dear I Wanted to Tell You

A SINGLE THREAD remains in the bestseller chart at #9 and the Bookseller has just proclaimed, ‘Tracy Chevalier’s A Single Thread (The Borough Press) had the reviews sewn up, with Hephzibah Anderson in the Observer describing the setting of Winchester in 1932 as "perfectly suited to Chevalier’s meticulous scene-setting, gentle pacing and gimlet eye for hidden hurts and secret longings". The author "couldn’t have picked a more satisfying metaphor" in embroidering cathedral cushions for the protagonist Violet Speedwell’s journey towards independence.” The Daily Mail’s Elizabeth Buchan praised Chevalier as "writing with quiet but devastating empathy" and Anna Bonet in Red said she "tore through" it, describing it as a "beautifully written, utterly immersive novel".
