Book #27

The Beach Street Knitting Society and Yarn Club by Gil McNeil.

A so-so novel about a widow who leaves London and heads to a small village by the sea to take over her grandmothers knitting shop.

I didn't love this book. I might not have finished it even if knitting hadn't been so prominently featured. My biggest dislike is that the novel was written in England English, not American English. I was constantly having to figure out the American equivilent of various words and phrase; idioms were especially troublesome. Each time one of these arose, I was pulled out of the story and back into real life.

Had this book been "translated" into American, I probably would have given it another star. Anglophiles, start your engines.
