The Knitting Circle

This is not a book I would usually be interested in reading. But, for some reason the cover just caught my eye at the library.

The story deals with Mary dealing with the loss of her young daughter, Stella to meningitis. Her mother suggests she takes up knitting to help ease her mind and help her cope with her stress. Reluctantly she joins a knitting circle where she meets a whole set of women, each with their own unique story of love and loss. Some of the stories were very touching.

Throughout the book you see Mary go through the grieving process and how it effects her relationship with her spouse, boss, co-workers, friends and even her mother. The end is happy, yet believable.

I really enjoyed this book.
