The Knitting Circle by Ann Hood is a beautiful book about a painful subject, the loss of a child. Mary Baxter and her husband, Dylan, are shell after their only daughter, 5 years old shocked Stella, dies suddenly and unexpectedly from bacterial meningitis. During the months of mourning and grief that follow Mary's relationships are faltering, they no longer go to work, struggling with her husband to communicate, and can hardly speak to her mother. This is the story of how Mary learnsto live again.
At the urging of her mother, Mary joins a knitting circle. She finds knitting therapeutic and distracting, just what she needs. She begins to learn more about the other people in a circle and all the reasons they are there reasons to learn and suffering, tragedy and loss.
But I do not want you to think that a story is to be avoided, because it's too sad. It's sad, but it's also inspiring, and shows the restorative power of friendship and the supply ofother .. How to share our pain can reduce the load. It is a story from my heart I hope that I held in 2 sessions, only to sleep and eat.
Hood, who lost her own daughter, a virulent strain of streptococcus (even at age 5), writes from heartbreaking personal experience. The novel sounds so true, and I longed for Mary (and also for Mrs. Hood) as she walked out of the depths of her grief to the beginnings of healing. In the last chapter of the book, Mary finally reveals her own story. This bookis wonderful, and I recommend it.
