"Smart novels about starting over don't get any better than this sweet treat."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Funny and sparkling--a profoundly moving study of motherhood and true love."--Ruth RendellFor every woman who has ever dreamed of starting over, or being a better mother, or just knitting a really nice scarf . . .Jo Mackenzie needs a fresh start. Newly widowed with two young sons and a perilous bank balance, she leaves the bustle of London to take over her beloved Gran's wool shop in her sleepy seaside hometown. There, she finds unexpected comfort in a "Stitch and Bitch" knitting group that meets every week to trade gossip and, occasionally, a new stitch. When a new man enters Jo's life, the knitting club has even more trouble confining the conversation to knit one, purl two.
