Title: The Knitting Circle
Author: Ann Hood
Genre: Contemporary Fiction
I love stories that explore friendship and the strength women find within the bonds of their relationships with each other. The Knitting Circle is such a book....at its heart is Mary Baxter, writer, wife and mother. But now she is lost in despair at the sudden death of her young daughter. She's unable to find herself or any part of her previous life with her husband, Dylan, and the grief and sadness are swallowing her up. But then she learns to knit, and it saves her. More accurately, it's the people she meets at "Big Alice's" Sit and Knit that slowly, but surely, save her. Hood's writing is true and honest and she handles difficult, painful issues with sensitivity and humor. I've added this to the top of my "Fav's" list.
