Big Stone Gap by Adriana Trigiani
5.0

Once in a great while, I read a book that completely charms me. This is that book. With a main character named Ave Maria, how can you not be utterly charmed? The cast of characters and sweet unfolding of events (I couldn't decide between Theodore and Jack Mac for the longest time...I loved them both) make this book enjoyable and darling. It hit close to home with the heroine being in her 30s and as of yet, unmarried. This is an all around wonderful read, a skilled interweaving of character's lives to paint a picture of a quaint, country town. Loved it!
