Charismatic bishop Odo of Bayeux decides to commission a wall hanging, on a scale never seen before, to celebrate his role in the conquest of Britain by his brother, William, Duke of Normandy. What he cannot anticipate is how utterly this will change his life - even more than the invasion itself. His life becomes entangled with the women who embroider his hanging, especially Gytha - handmaiden to the fallen Saxon queen and his sworn enemy. But against their intentions they fall helplessly in love; in doing so Odo comes into conflict with his king and his God and Gytha with Odo's enemies, who mistrust her hold over such a powerful man. Friends and family become enemies, enemies become lovers; nothing in life or in the hanging is what it seems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a new edition to celebrate a remarkable 2023 sculptural commemoration of this bestselling book installed at Julian of Norwich's shrine, \u003cem\u003eThe Needle in the Blood\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful tale of sex, lies and embroidery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Bower\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905005393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905005390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Snowbooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.10w x 1.60d","brand":"Sarah Bower","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44310997860607,"sku":"9781905005390","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07455fb7-dc72-4523-a29c-a91e2c47b31e.jpg?v=1695720558","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-needle-in-the-blood-sarah-bower-9781905005390","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
