The Knitting Circle on June 2 - Save the Date


We are so excited to announce that on June 2 Ann Hood, author of The Knitting Circle will be joining us for a discussion of her novel. More details will be announced a little later, but we wanted to give you plenty of time to read up. The book can be purchased here. Ann Hood is the author of seven novels and a collection of short stories as well as a knitting philanthropist. Happy reading and stay tuned for more information.

A brief synopsis of The Knitting Circle:
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.
