Synopsis: &“In the tradition of Anita Brookner and Barbara Pym, Anne Bartlett has written a sly, stirring look at women&’s lives&” (Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion). Sandra, a rigid academic, is struggling to navigate the world after losing her husband to cancer. Martha, a self-taught textile artist with her own secret store of grief, spends her days knitting elaborate projects charged with personal meaning. After a chance meeting sparks a friendship between these two very different women, they begin to collaborate—leading to surprising events that will help heal them both, in a novel of &“subtle beauty&” (The Washington Post). &“A moving story about true love and haunting grief.&” —Adriana Trigiani &“A wonderful tale . . . deeply satisfying.&” —Connie May Fowler &“An experience as sensual and mystical as plunging your hands into skeins of wool and color . . . A joyful narrative of creating and connecting.&” —Sena Jeter Naslund
