Helpful Score: 2

Each chapter in this book is told from a different POV (the artist commissioned to design the tapestries, the family of weavers, the daughter of the patron commissioning the work, etc...). But the main characters are really the tapestries themselves. The author puts her spin on what she felts the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries represent, who the artist was trying to portray, the trials of making them, etc. Each tapestry literally tells the story of a different woman connected to them and how that tapestry is meant to portray some characteristic, trait, or desire of that woman. It's a bit hard to explain without giving too much away, so I recommend just reading it. I found this book to be a quick and interesting read. I enjoyed it much more than "Girl with the Pearl Earring."
