I had a hard time finishing this one. It felt so similar to so many other books I've read, nothing original, so I was bored with it and felt it was filled with cliché's. It's about a group of women who become friends over knitting. The main character owns a knitting shop in Manhattan, funded by a wealthy Manhattanite who becomes her surrogate mother and works for her. The shop has several regulars and they eventually form a Friday Night Knitting Club. The book shares a bit about each character and their back story, but so little. It felt like a movie version of the book, just enough to know who's who, but no depth. The ending is a tear jerker but not shocking. I was happy to finally finish this one.
This Blog is Dedicated to our dear friend Karen.
When she left this life she left a hole in our hearts as well as several to be read books.
We, her friends, will read these books for her.
This blog will be a sort of book club for us to post our thoughts and feelings about the stories and feelings we have of Karen while we read.
