Acerca de esta escucha

Master Quilter Sylvia Bergstrom Compson treasures an antique quilt called by three names: Birds in the Air, after its pattern; the Runaway Quilt, after the woman who sewed it; and the Elm Creek Quilt, after the place to which its maker longed to return. That quilter was Joanna, a fugitive slave who traveled by the Underground Railroad to reach safe haven in 1859 at Elm Creek Farm.

Best-selling author Jennifer Chiaverini, herself an accomplished quilter, has won a devoted fan following with her heartwarming Elm Creek Quilts novels.With her deep understanding of intricate human relationships and her trademark depth of characterization, she once again stitches together a winning tale for this 14th entry in the beloved series.

At the end of the book I had to go back to the beginning to remind myself of the story line with Sylvia and the clues to the lost quilter (a continuation of an earlier episode). Once I did that, I was very satisfied, the storyline met all expectations, with some savory mystery still remaining. As one who enjoys civil war era historical novels, this did not disappoint.

Good story and characters

Particularly liked the use of a quilt as a springboard to tell a deeply disturbing, absorbing & intimate biography of a slave just before the end of the civil war & her search for freedom in the south. You know she is one of many. You wonder if you would have been as brave, as persistent, as humble or ultimately as generous?
I recommend this book as a stand alone read to any who love the art of quilting (I don’t quilt but I admire those who do & their magnificence) historians, those with a passion for women’s rights & believe in the constitution that all people are equal.

What does Christina Moore bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voices of the characters is just right.

A must see for all Jennifer Chiaverini fans!!!!!

This is my second Elm Creek Quilters novel and I am delighted to have found this wonderful storyteller. The Lost Quilter is a story from era of slavery in America that is interesting, entertaining, enlightening, educational and - most of all - absolutely riveting.

I found myself driving to and from work and doing other mundane tasks and then stopping...holding my breath! What will happen next?!?

I cared about the characters.... heck, I even cared about the characters who were horrible! I wanted to know what happened to them. I wanted to hope that Joanna and Titus would succeed in their quest to be free.

The art of quilting is a unifying theme in these books. But the characters and the author's ability to make them come to life is what will bring you back to Elm Creek and the quilters there. (And I don't even quilt!)

I am going to find more of Chiaverini's books to either read or listen to. The narrator did a truly excellent job. I recommend this book most highly.

What a Wonderful Storyteller is Chiaverini!

"The Lost Quilter", one of the Elm Creek series, was riveting. I just wish the author had not stopped at Joanna's freedom. I credit the narrator with part of the kudos I give this book because of her ability to change her voice and make the characters come to life. Not only is Chiaverini a great storyteller, but her knowledge of quilting history has provided quite an education for me.

Fantastic Book!

I was expecting a little light reading with this one but what I got was a book that challenged my notions of what slavery actually was. I didn't want to like this book, I wasn't sure how I felt about the story of an African American slave being told by a white woman. Kudos to Jennifer Chiaverini on this accomplishment. I think this book changes her status from genre fiction to literature. Of course, it isn't perfect, it can be a little flat in the modern sections but the story of Joanna is entralling and emotional and gritty. This book actually changed how I felt about my own slave ancestors. I went from a place of shame to a place of extreme pride and love for a people who were tortured and suffered and yet still managed to survive and maintain their humanity. If you think "The Help" is good, you might want to give this book a try as well.

Not What I Expected, Much Better

I live to sew and sew to live. I love being able to listen to these wonderful stories of women lives, friendships and challenges while I'm sewing. You really don't need to know how to sew or quilt to appreciate thesae stories. I have also listened while driving and not wanted to get out of the car after an entire day of driving.

Love the historical Chiaverini stories too!
