This was a sweet, quiet novel about a woman who stumbles upon a pottery workshop one day, and through learning to make vases, cups and dishes, rebuilds her life after years of sadness and depression. At first I had a little trouble keeping the characters straight—too many with names starting with an H—but once I figured that out I flew through the book. Such a delightful tale!

A decent read about a woman starting over and moving forward from her past. This book started really well, but strangely stressed me out here and there - so maybe not the most ideal read by the end of it, though I usually love topics like these! Ahh well, enjoyed the experience all the same.
