Narrated by:
Newlyweds Irma and Rudi Kosinec have the world at their feet. They are young and full of promise; master tailors who can craft magic from a single thread. As Nazi rule descends on their beloved home city of Vienna, they make a desperate, split-second choice: to leave their family behind and take a leap into the unknown.
War erupts, and Rudi and Irma are forced apart. As the world around them transforms beyond recognition, they and their family encounter the covert glamour of the French Resistance, endure the horror of the Lódz Ghetto, and discover a remarkable workshop, hidden underneath Toronto’s grandest ballroom, where tailors make garments for spies.
On opposite sides of the world, it will take everything Rudi and Irma have – their courage, their love for one another, and their formidable gifts – to find a way back.
The Long Bright Thread stitches together the rich threads of many lives across one family. Inspired by a piece of the author’s family history, it is a beautifully crafted story of personal courage, the transformative power of making, and the capacity of love to overcome unimaginable peril.
