کتاب The Liberty Scarf (رمان روسری آزادی)

London: As an ambitious scarf maker, Iris Braxton spends her days surrounded by color and luxury not often seen during the dark days of war that were promised to be over by Christmas. That promise has come and gone for three years with still no end in sight, and her days continue in a monotony of rations and threads while she spins a dream of becoming Liberty’s first female pattern designer.

She hasn’t the time or interest in rakish soldiers, but the temporarily-on-leave Captain Rex Conrad is persistent–and before long his charm wins her over. But war is cruel, and, all too soon, Conrad leaves once more for the Front, but not before vowing to meet again in Strasbourg, France, the most magical of Christmas cities.

Iris begins stitching small messages into each of the scarves she makes in hopes that one will find a way into Rex’s hands to let him know she’s thinking of him. And when she receives word that he’s wounded in Strasbourg, she rushes to his side. Along the way, she passes a woman wearing one of her scarves . . .
