msmichaela 's review for:
The Knitting Circle
by Ann Hood
I'd really hoped this novel would be better. But its premise - that a grieving mother joins a knitting group in which each member has her (or his!) own private grief that is eventually revealed - is hoky and the characters are very, very thin. That said, it was a not-unpleasant way to spend a few hours. I should also note that Ann Hood's loss of her own five-year-old daughter led her to write this book... which makes me hesitate to criticize it. Yet while it may have been good therapy for Hood, it's an unsatisfying novel.
