Read this when it was first published--and found it compelling. Sure, some first novel sins, but the characters have stayed with me for years! I've read all of Ann Hood's books, and this is the one I love best

I listened to this on Books on Tape. It was enjoyable to listen to while driving. It is the kind of book one could read at an airport and still not miss what is going on all around. I am not sure that I would have found it a book to just sit and read because it did not have a particularly intriguing plot that left me aching to get back to it. It was a book of many events but not a lot of depth. Yet, it would be a good read when sitting on the beach this coming suumer. One attractive feature of the book was that everything was not tied up into neat little packages at the end.

Three friends, three very different stories that merge first in the late sixties, and then later in the 80's. From carefree college days to parenthood and earning a living, the three women have gone in different directions, shaped by decisions and tragedies. Our most interesting view of them is finally through the eyes of their children, all of whom have been influenced by the same forces of the past.

I finished the book, hoping the end would justify the read. I’m sorry to say it was time wasted.

After reading the Knitting Circle, I found old copies of several other books by Ann Hood. I lost myself in the Knitting Circle - something that did not happen with this book. The characters were shallow and unlikable the book felt like it didn't know where if was going or what its point was.
