findthatbookI'm looking for a book I read 10+ years ago. It was a large format book (not large print, just larger than the airport paperback.)
The main character was a woman who worked with fabric for the royals (I'm thinking purple, but it could have indigo)
I'm thinking she was either a Dyer or a weaver.
The book was set in ancient times and I'm thinking it was in Istanbul but it could have been Greece. I do remember it was a coastal city. The original purple comes from the phoenician city of Lye, so it could have been there.
Thanks in advance.
