For every woman who has ever dreamed of starting over, or
being a better mother, or just knitting a really nice scarf
. . . 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beloved Gran's knitting shop-a quaint but out-of-date store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.
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. The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn
Club 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. UK edition - DIVAS DON'T KNIT
