BETWEEN THE COVERS

From the catalogue

The carpet maker, following the traditions of his fathers, will spend his entire life making one carpet from the hair of his wife and daughters, so fine and fragile that only the God Emperor may purchase it, until the Empire disappears and strangers arrive, finding something unbelievable in the patterns of the carpets.
