‘Enormously enjoyable’ Evening Standard
‘Charming’ The Times
‘What would you have me paint instead of a battle, Madame?’
Geneviève de Nanterre’s eyes gleamed.
‘A unicorn.’
Keen to demonstrate his new-found favour with the King, rising nobleman Jean le Viste commissions six tapestries to adorn the walls of his château. He expects soldiers and bloody battlefields. But artist Nicolas des Innocents instead designs a seductive world of women, unicorns and flowers, using as his muses Le Viste’s wife Geneviève and ripe young daughter Claude.
In Belgium, as his designs spring to life under the weavers’ fingers, Nicolas is inspired once more – by the master weaver’s daughter Aliénor and her mother Christine. They too will be captured by his threads.

Zustand: Como nuevo. : Ambientada entre 1490 y 1492, la novela de Tracy Chevalier se desarrolla entre un castillo en Lyon y las ciudades de París y Bruselas. La historia se centra en una serie de seis tapices flamencos conocidos como los tapices de la dama y el unicornio. Jean le Viste, un miembro recién enriquecido de la corte francesa, encarga los tapices para colgarlos en su castillo. Nicolas, el diseñador elegido, conoce a la esposa de Le Viste, Genevieve, y a su hija Claude, quienes se interesan mucho en los tapices. Desde París, Nicolás se traslada a un taller de tejedor en Bruselas. La creación de los tapices reúne a personas que de otro modo no se conocerían: sus vidas se entrelazan, al igual que sus deseos. A medida que se enamoran, son rechazados, se vengan, encuentran un amor no correspondido, recurren a la iglesia o a ideales paganos, los tapices se convierten para cada uno en una visión ideal de la vida, pero todos descubren que no pueden hacer suyo este mundo ideal.
