A readers is touched by THE BLACK THREAD

Having read one of my other books, a reader wrote:
Well, you have done it again, brought me down to a crying baby with THE BLACK THREAD, it was so lovely, and the characters were so nice...except for a couple that is.
I started reading it about 10.30pm last night, had some sleep, woke at 7.45am and did not get out of bed till 10.15am today...I just had to finish it.
Next one to read is the SEA DUST...right beside my bed ready to go tonight. Will I need tissues???

Author - Margaret Muir was inspired to write this story after visiting some of the British canals a few years ago.

THE BLACK THREAD a review by EA Harwik

THE BLACK THREAD by Margaret Muir is one of those gorgeously rare stories that keeps bubbling along with unfolding detail designed to capture and tease all who take pride at being able to visualise what will come next.

Set in Yorkshire just prior to the 20th century this book will engage the reader with beautiful descriptive local detail woven into a well timed fictional saga of deprivation, loss, escape, fear and discovery. Plus THE BLACK THREAD holds an extra treat via a very standard build-up to the usual happy-ever-after being interrupted and replaced with the most unexpected and grandly wonderful catch and capture imaginable. Simply marvellous; five stars.

Thank you, EA Harwik.

Reader loves THROUGH GLASS EYES

What a lovely email to wake up on a morning to.
It read:
"I have just finished reading 'The Twisting Vine', I just loved it, started crying on the last few pages, I loved the finish, such heart and mind you have. My husband and I were telling each other about the books we have just read, and I was telling him about this one, got towards to finish and started crying again, I was all choked up, ple
ase write a lot more books. This one is the first I have read, and I am looking for the rest of your books to read, wish me happy searching."

(This is the large print edition cover - from Ulverscroft and available through libraries).

Note: THE TWISTING VINE, was the title chosen by the publisher. But it was written under the author's working title of THROUGH GLASS EYES. Which title do you think is most appropriate?
