    Trying to find the name of the ribbon weaver in this series. She appeared several times, and the last was in a later book where a young “orphan” girl went to live with her and help with her weaving.

    Don’t forget her other series: The Chronicles of Christoval Alvarez….there are several books, the first one, which starts in 1586, is “The Secret World of Christoval Alvarez”.

    They are also very well researched and quite good.

    She has also written some stand-alone historical fiction such as “This Rough Ocean” set during the Cromwell period when the king of England has been overthrown….it is based on a true story of events in her husband’s family. I enjoyed it a lot.
