The Friday Night Knitting Club
November 3, 2008
The New York Times bestselling sensation that’s “Steel Magnolias set in Manhattan” (USA Today)-now in paperback.
Juggling the demands of her yarn shop and single-handedly raising a teenage daughter has made Georgia Walker grateful for her Friday Night Knitting Club. Her friends are happy to escape their lives too, even for just a few hours. But when Georgia’s ex suddenly reappears, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her whole world is shattered.
Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.
Customer Review: Disappointing
I loved the premise of this book. I enjoyed the story enough to finish the book, afterwords I found myself asking “Who are these people?” “What are their stories?” The characters fail to develop. This writer needs to work specifically on finding ‘the voice’ of each character. The story moved along well and I wanted to keep reading on. Very surprised this book was on the New York Times bestseller list.
Customer Review: Haven’t I read this before?
This book is uncannily similar to The Shop On Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber, complete with a cancer-riddled knitting shop owner. But Debbie wrote hers two years earlier…… Still, I enjoyed the characters, though I found it uncecessary for Georgia to die at the end. Buy from here…
