The Sewing Room: A Novel (The Sewing Room Trilogy)

When eighteen-year-old Amanda Harrison leaves Surrey for a long-awaited holiday in London, she imagines an exciting fortnight of sightseeing, theater performances, bookshops, and a joyful reunion with her beloved aunt. Instead, a series of small misfortunes strands her in a snowbound city.

With a blizzard sealing the streets of Bloomsbury, her aunt having vanished from her last known address, and her purse nearly empty, Amanda is forced to accept lodging in the sewing room in Mrs. Tully’s elegant boardinghouse. But what begins as a single night’s inconvenience soon becomes something far more intriguing.

Snowed in with the distinguished residents, Amanda soon learns that beneath the polished silver and damask linens lie unspoken rivalries, buried ambitions, and carefully guarded secrets. In a winter-bound London glittering with snow and ice, one small sewing room may alter the course of her life forever.

Rich in Victorian detail, The Sewing Room is a sweeping tale of resilience, quiet rebellion, and the courage to claim one’s place in a changing world. Amanda must decide what she is willing to risk for independence, self-fulfillment, friendship, and ultimately, true love.
