Marie Bostwick weaves the unforgettable story of four very different women whose paths cross, changing their lives forever.

It's a long way from Fort Worth, Texas, to New Bern, Connecticut, yet it only takes a day in the charming Yankee town to make Evelyn Dixon realize she's found her new home. The abrupt end of her marriage was Evelyn's wake-up call to get busy chasing her dream of opening a quilt shop. Finding a storefront is easy enough; starting a new life isn't. Little does Evelyn imagine it will bring a trio like Abigail Burgess, her niece Liza, and Margot Matthews through her door.

Troubled and angry after her mother's death, Liza threatens to embarrass her aunt Abigail all over town unless she joins her for quilting classes. A victim of downsizing at the peak of her career, Margot hopes an event hosted by the quilt shop could be a great chance to networkâ??and keep from dying of boredom.

As they stitch their unique creations, Evelyn, Abigail, Liza, and Margot form a sisterhood they never soughtâ??but one that they'll be grateful for when the unexpected provides a poignant reminder of the single thread that binds us all… (plus d'informations)

Marie Bostwick has become one of my new favorite authors. She has touched on a subject and brought it into a reality that hopefully some people will never have to experience. It brought out raw emotion in me that made me have to close the book and regroup so that I could stop crying and actually finish a chapter. This book also shows that friends can be created and found in the least likely person. ( )

I've read a few books centered around "crafty chicks", whether they are knitters or quilters or booksellers or whatever. While I usually enjoy the insights into the crafts themselves, I've found the plots wrapped around them to be as gossamer thin and full of holes as a fine lace shawl.

So I approached A Single Thread with trepidation, and only after I had exhausted all the library books on my Kobo and was forced to turn to the books I had gotten for free. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that this "crafty chick" story was a cut above. The protagonist had an unusual backstory, and the inevitable romance angle played out against a backdrop of interactions with other people in the town that seemed more complex than average.

I'd recommend this book to other "crafty chicks" who like a little meat with their meringue. ( )

Not my cup of tea at all. Stuck with it out of curiosity (what the heck contrivance will she come up with next?). Won't be reading any of the others, that's for sure. ( )

Etwas schnulzig, schön war aber der Bezug zum Quilten. Das macht Lust, es auch mal wieder zu probieren. ( )

Lovely book about Evelyn, who is looking to put down new roots and stumbles across an empty shop that she turns into a quilt shop. You get to know the others in town and the ones in particular that join the quilt circle. Of course, just like other women's small groups - sometimes you quilt and sometimes you just socialize/lend an ear or lend a hand. ( )
