Book Reviews of The Knitting Circle: A Novel
Book Review: A heartwarming book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a heartwarming book of grief, loss and recovery. A circle of women unite through the common bond of grieving over significant losses in their lives. A mother and daughter finally bond after years of estrangement.
The knitting descriptions are very realistic. As someone who belongs to a knitting circle I found the circle itself and how the women related to one another to be very true to life.
Summary of The Knitting Circle: A Novel
"An intelligent, moving read" (Pages) and "a testament to women's friendship and to Ann Hood's talent" (Hilma Wolitzer)After the sudden loss of her only child, Mary Baxter joins a knitting circle in Providence, Rhode Island, as a way to fill the empty hours and lonely days. The women welcome her, each teaching Mary a new knitting technique and, as they do, revealing their own personal stories of loss, love, and hope. Eventually Mary is able to tell her own story of grief and in so doing reclaims her love for her husband, faces the hard truths about her relationship with her mother, and finds the spark of life again.
