In “The Girl Who Wrote in Silk,” Seattle-area author Kelli Estes tells the story of two young women in Seattle and the San Juans living 130 years apart, connected by a secret. Estes reads July 26 at the Eagle Harbor Book Co. and July 30 at Parkplace Books in Kirkland.
Seattle-area author Kelli Estes combines history, mystery, tragedy and romance in her debut novel, “The Girl Who Wrote in Silk” (Sourcebooks Landmark, 390 pp., $14.99). And if that isn’t ambitious enough, Estes also employs a dual narrative to tell this story. Two young women, 130 years apart, are the principal characters.
