Books like Knitting Circle by Ann Hood


Mary Baxter, grieving the death of her only child, struggles to read, write, and engage in the hobbies that once soothed her. With her mother’s encouragement, she picks up knitting to fill her empty days. When she joins a local knitting circle in Providence, Rhode Island, she meets a group of women—Alice, Scarlet, Lulu, Beth, Harriet, and Ellen—who welcome her despite her reluctance. Each woman teaches Mary a new knitting technique while sharing their own stories of loss, love, and hope. Through hours of knitting and conversation, Mary gradually gains the courage to confront her grief, ultimately finding a renewed sense of life and connection.
