Jennifer Chiaverini writes historical fiction and contemporary women’s fiction, best known for the Elm Creek Quilts series. The Quilter’s Apprentice introduces Sarah McClure, who takes work helping Sylvia Compson prepare an old family estate for sale and becomes drawn into both quilting and the history of the women connected to the house. Later Elm Creek books move among quilters, families and different historical periods, using textile work as a link between personal stories. Chiaverini has also written standalone historical novels about women connected to American political and Civil War history. Her prose is accessible, relationship-led and strongly interested in craft, domestic history and women’s networks. Her work sits within quilting fiction, women’s historical fiction and family saga. The Quilter’s Apprentice is the defining series entry for readers who enjoy craft communities and stories passed through objects. Read more Less
