I remember reading this review when you first posted it, but I had to come back here and reread it since I just finished reading her book on knitting! I liked her so much! I'm definitely putting this one on my TBR list.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01857602206725562335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-51915905743272947782008-09-17T12:47:00.000-07:002008-09-17T12:47:00.000-07:00Wow this book seems to be totally up my alley!

The book sounds terrific but I think I'd have a little trouble with the lack of plot. Still . . . might just have to flip through a copy. You made it sound awfully interesting!Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-89763932593112964722008-09-13T11:52:00.000-07:002008-09-13T11:52:00.000-07:00I have this book on my bedside table.

This one does sound quite good. For me, plot is really not all that important as long as the book is well-written and the characters are complex and realistically drawn.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00795619401977840939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8275808567357577735.post-33030356494195472322008-09-12T01:02:00.000-07:002008-09-12T01:02:00.000-07:00Oh this sounds marvellous and just the kind of boo...Oh this sounds marvellous and just the kind of book I should be reading for my motherhood project.
