Sweet Calm by atrescott |
| This sweet, gentle book is written with a very British voice. Often hilarious, the characters are ones I rooted for. Made me interested in knitting. |

| Summary: |
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 where she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop. 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. |
