A real seventeenth-century shipwreck. A silk gown preserved as if folded yesterday. One storyteller’s answer to a mystery historians still can’t solve.
When the Palmwood Wreck gave up its treasures off the Dutch coast, no one could explain why these particular objects lay together on one unnamed ship. The Silk & The Sea follows the cargo back to its origins — across two English embassies in Constantinople, forty years apart, through the Jacobean court, the Ottoman Sultan’s palace, and the lives of the real men and women who owned these beautiful things.
Part historical novel, part investigation. For readers of Tracy Chevalier and Philippa Gregory.
