- as with all her books
- Julia Blackburn&s account of his life is far from a conventional biography Instead it is a quest which takes her in many strange directions
- to fishermen&s cottages in Sheringham a grand hotel fallen on hard times in Great Yarmouth & to the isolated Watch House far out in the Blakeney estuary; to Cromer & the bizarre story of Einstein&s stay there guarded by dashing young women in jodhpurs with shotguns Threads is a book about life & death & the strange country between the two where John Craske seemed to live It is also about life after death as Julia&s beloved husband Herman a vivid presence in the early pages of the book dies before it is finished In a gentle meditation on art & fame; on the nature of time & the fact of mortality; & illustrated with Craske&s paintings & embroideries Threads shows yet again that Julia Blackburn can conjure a magic that is spellbinding & utterly her own
