Liz Trenow
Liz Trenow comes from a remarkable family with nearly three centuries of silk weaving history, with their company remaining one of only three still operating in the UK today, producing work for top fashion houses and royal commissions.
This extraordinary heritage has deeply influenced her writing across four novels.
Her most recent work was published in the UK as The Silk Weaver in January 2017, and in the US as The Hidden Thread in May 2017.
Set in the very house where her family's company began, the novel draws inspiration from the life of renowned silk designer Anna Maria Garthwaite.
