Summary:

"The story of three childhood friends-Mila, Citlali, and Dalia-over the course of their friendship and into adulthood, fused with the cultural history of sewing"-- Provided by publisher.

Then: It was meant to be the trip of a lifetime. Mila, Citlali, and Dalia, childhood friends now college aged, leave Mexico City for the England of The Clash and the Paris of Courbet. They anticipate the caf̌s and crushes, but not the early signs that they are each steadily, inevitably changing. Now: Mila, a writer and a new mother, has just published a book on needlecraft, an art form dismissed as "women's work." After learning Citlali has drowned, Mila begins to sift through her old scrapbooks, reflecting on their shared youth for the first time in years. What has come of all the nights the three friends spent embroidering together in silence? Did she miss the signs that Citlali needed help? -- adapted from jacket
