The Friday Night Knitting Club

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives...

At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends—Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KC—exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered.

Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.

Good book - unexpectedly sad turns - heartwarming - depth of female relationships comes through clearly.

I listened to this audio book while knitting bears for the mother bear project. It was ok, entertaining, but I am glad I listened to it rather that spent time reading it.

A feel good book with a very predictable storyline.

This book was a choice for our book club. It was okay, but it annoyed me. For an alleged book about "strong" women they sure seemed to need and have to have a bunch of men in their lives. It was way too overly simplified with the emotions etc. and they never seemed to delve deep enough into the characters. I felt like I was reading a lifetime original movie. And the end didn't shock me at all I felt like figures that would happen.
