A Single Thread: The Sunday Times Bestseller

Product Information

Violet had never said anything to her father during those late nights in the garden, watching for streaks in the sky, but she did not really like stargazing. One of the major drawbacks, however, is that it cannot benefit from the hardware acceleration on multithreaded processors or multi-processor computers: there is never more than one thread being scheduled at the same time.

These days, crafting has become popular again, with more knitters, quilters, and embroiderers than ever. In a multiprocessor architecture, each thread can run on a different processor in parallel using multithreading.

The threaded programming model provides developers with a useful abstraction of concurrent execution. At the user level a process such as a runtime system can itself schedule multiple threads of execution.

Players who join a fireteam in progress may be stuck and unable to move or be revived until the fireteam leaves the area. The growing concerns about Germany are touched on but just a bit in terms of what would have been heard on the wireless or read in newspapers. Winchester still bears the scars of World War I in which loss sits heavily at the elbow of family upon family.It is 1932 and thirty-eight-year-old Violet has finally left her overbearing, peevish mother in Southampton for the cathedral village of Winchester, twelve miles to north. While Evelyn, Violet’s sister-in-law, is married, she is not without burdens herself: Evelyn is expected not to have a hair out of place at all times.

After the Great War took both her beloved brother and her fiancé, Violet Speedwell has become a "surplus woman," one of a generation doomed to a life of spinsterhood after the war killed so many young men. Told in Chevalier's glorious prose, A Single Thread is a timeless story of friendship, love, and a woman crafting her own life.

With Eris’ connection to Hive magic and her central role in Season of the Haunted, she asked Suraya Hawthorne to deliver a message to the Guardian—behind the backs of the leaders of the Vanguard and without briefing the Warlock Vanguard Ikora Rey on it.
