A Single Thread: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

I warmed to Violet for her efforts to do good, such as the attention she pays to her niece Marjory or her attempts to help her fellow broderers, Gilda and Dorothy, even if her efforts do not always succeed. And I applauded her desire for independence (a 'life of sorts', as she puts it) even if that does bring with it a conflict between loyalty to family and personal fulfilment. This novel yells courage. It yells freedom. It yells independence. And standing along Violet, while she finds courage when you least expect to was a moment I will cherish. Having lived in Winchester, I can safely say this one is not entirely evocative of the city. There are a few interesting titbits in there – unorthodox inscriptions on gravestones and graffiti in the cathedral – but overall the setting serves no real purpose other than to support the potted history of broidery and bellringing.

Lonely, Violet wanders into her beloved Winchester Cathedral and chances upon a group of broderers, women who embroider kneeling cushions and seat covers for the Cathedral. Although Violet has not embroidered since she was a little girl, she takes a chance and inserts herself into this group of volunteers, determined to learn a new skill and perhaps find friends.

Multithreaded Processes Implementation

Being untestable. In general, multithreaded programs are non-deterministic, and as a result, are untestable. In other words, a multithreaded program can easily have bugs which never manifest on a test system, manifesting only in production. [15] [14] This can be alleviated by restricting inter-thread communications to certain well-defined patterns (such as message-passing).

It is 1932 and Violet Speedwell is a “surplus woman” – one of millions of English women unable to marry since World War I decimated a generation of potential spouses. Looked down on by the press, tolerated with gentle exasperation by families, these women live at a time when society has rigid expectations of what a single woman might do with her life. Violet is about to challenge those restrictions. During a lunch break, Gilda introduces Violet to the man who will play a significant role in her future, 60-year-old Arthur Knight. He is a bell-ringer at Winchester and in his village of Nether Wallop, where he lives with his ailing wife, who is distraught over the death of their son in the war.

She spends her life after the war searching for meaning and purpose --- and finds her journey constantly impeded by the constraints and restrictions imposed upon unmarried women at the time. Do unmarried women face similar struggles today? In what ways do you feel society has progressed --- and in what ways has it not?
