Resumen

Este artículo estudia A Single Thread (2019) de Tracy Chevalier, novela donde se pone de manifiesto el interés de la escritora en la resiliencia de las mujeres como aspecto creador de agencia individual y comunitaria, junto con el papel que juegan prácticas culturales como los bordados o el toque de campanas en un contexto como el período de entreguerras y la proximidad de los totalitarismos. Tomando distintos aspectos de la teoría de la resiliencia (Cyrulnik 2006; Herman 1992; Vanistendael 2003), el artículo explora cómo los usos y significados asociados a dichos bienes patrimoniales los convierten en recursos que intervienen en la modulación del duelo y en la activación de dicha resiliencia y agencia en las vidas de las mujeres, tanto desde el punto de vista individual como social. Por último, el artículo contempla la obra de Chevalier en su conjunto, lo cual puede ser de interés para futuras investigaciones sobre la escritora.
