As soon as every woman's story, and those of supporting characters, was laid out, I knew exactly what was going to happen with each main character, and, sadly, I was right. It's a fine story if you're looking for a comfortable, female-centric feel-good novel. But don't come to this looking for any depth. It's very simply a light, happily-ever-after. As a yarn-crafter, and member of my own crafting group, I wanted to love this book. I'm a little sad that I didn't. ( ) ssperson | Apr 3, 2021 |
 The religious overtones of Macomber's novel may throw some readers, but the author should attract her usual sizeable readership and pick up some fans of Chiaverini's Elm Creek Quilts series. Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Blossom Street (1) Is opgenomen inHeeft een supplement

For Carol Girard, the baby blanket brings a message of hope as she and her husband make a final attempt to conceive. And tough-looking Alix Townsend (that's Alix with an i) is learning to knit her blanket for a court-ordered community service project. These four very different women, brought together by the age-old craft of knitting, make unexpected discoveries--about themselves and each other. Discoveries that lead to friendship and acceptance, to laughter and dreams. Discoveries only women can share... .Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

First of the Blossom Street series from Macomber. These are not exactly taxing books, and this is the running of the new Yarn shop on Blosson Street, which is undergoing a rebuild and investment.
Lydia is recovering from Cancer, and is suffering from loss - of her father, her confidence etc. She starts a knitting class, and starts to make friends, with her customers, her sister and the local delivery man.
These are a little formulaic, and are best read as "fluff" books that are not very challenging, but a pleasant way to spend a day or so. It sets up the Blossom Street story community, which Macomber has successfully spread into several different communities (
