<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This uplifting, funny novel combines knitting, the art of life, and the ways in which a young mother learns to start over after her husband's sudden death.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>For every woman who has ever dreamed of starting over, or being a better mother, or just knitting a really nice scarf . . .</b></br></br> When her husband dies in a car crash -- not long after announcing he wants a divorce -- Jo Mackenzie packs up her two rowdy boys and moves from London to a dilapidated villa in her seaside hometown. There, she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop -- a quaint but out-of-date store in desperate need of a facelift. After a rough beginning, Jo soon finds comfort in a "Stitch and Bitch" group; a collection of quirky, lively women who share their stories, and their addiction to cake, with warmth and humor.</br></br> As Jo starts to get the hang of single-parent life in a small town, she relies on her knitting group for support. The women meet every week at the shop on Beach Street and trade gossip and advice as freely as they do a new stitch. But when a new man enters Jo's life, and an A-list actress moves into the local mansion, the knitting club has even more trouble confining the conversation to knit one, purl two.</br></br> <em>The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club</em> is an uplifting, winning tale about the healing power of friendship and new beginnings. It's a charming novel that will delight all passionate knitters -- and win over befuddled, would-be knitters, too.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Funny and sparkling--a profoundly moving study of motherhood and true love."
