The Tender Moments of Saffron Silk (Kingdom of Silk): 6 - Softcover

Never once soppy or sentimental, Millard writes with honesty and integrity about deep and loving emotions. This is a tremendous book for exploring kindness and empathy.

This entire series is such a sweet read, covering emotionally complex issues in a way that makes sense...This is a series I'll reread because they are touching, and the illustrations heighten the meaning behind the story. A family focused read with lots of grandmother magic!

Every action, every sentiment, every character amongst the pages of this book is a manifesto for family, for joy, for being kind, for never failing to show someone you love them, and for never ever failing to recognise the tiny tender moments that make one's life complete.Those tiny tender moments, they are those that 'make the soul tipsy with ordinary happiness'. This is why I love this series so much; it reminds us that true happiness is found in the simplest things.

Millard weaves difficult issues in a non-threatening way, but her language is so lyrical and poetic (but without lashings of sentimentality) you cannot helped but be moved.

Millard has a light touch and avoids sentimentality, this is another beautiful and affecting read.
