Bianca, a young weaver, runs away from her abusive husband without a plan or refuge. An eccentric stranger, Mr. Taylor, finds her wandering alone and offers her something that seems like salvation — for him it is a simple gesture, for her it is everything.

Years later, when Mr. Taylor’s wife falls seriously ill, Bianca, to repay the favor she was given, will invoke a legend passed down from mother to daughter and granddaughter through entire generations — unaware that often, worse than an unanswered prayer is its fulfillment.

A story about women who know how to weave worlds but do not know how to exist in the world.

What ordinary people were willing to sacrifice in the name of love did not follow logical rules; to whom they addressed this love and why was also a mystery. She did not complain; within these logical gaps, these voids of meaning, despair and stubbornness were born that nourished her, her sisters, and before them the previous sisters, and before those previous ones, unto ages of ages, amen.
