The Water Women (by Bonnie Blaylock)

This historical fiction book was different than my typical read. While it took me a while to get into the story, the last third of the book made it a satisfying read. I was unfamiliar with byssus and the weavers. (Byssus is the fine amber filament that anchors mollusks to the ocean floor.) Learning the tradition of harvesting the sea silk was so interesting. The author has done an amazing amount of research and sharing the story of Sardinia’s water women allowed you to discover the relationship between mothers and daughters. What a joy it is to open a book and have the opportunity to be transported to another time and place and to learn something new.
