Author: Kate Strasdin
Narrator: Karen Cass

In 1838, a young woman was given a diary on her wedding day. Collecting snippets of fabric from a range of garments-some her own, others donated by family and friends-she carefully annotated each one, creating a unique record of their lives. Her name was Mrs. Anne Sykes. Nearly two hundred years later, the diary fell into the hands of Kate Strasdin, a fashion historian and museum curator. Using her expertise, Strasdin spent the next six years unraveling the secrets contained within the album’s pages, and the lives of the people within. Her findings are remarkable. Piece by piece, she charts Anne’s journey from the mills of Lancashire to the port of Singapore before tracing her return to England in later years.
