Tuesday Evenings with the Copeton Craft Resistance

De: Kate Solly

Narrado por: Rebecca Macauley

A heartwarming story of friendship in an imperfect world, this is binge-worthy, feel-good fiction at its best.

Meredith established the Copeton Crochet Collective (no knitters please) because it would be like having friends, only with her in charge, and because there would be no men. It comes as a nasty shock, then, when Luke, the handsome grandson of no-nonsense Edith, decides to stay and learn to crochet.

Claire has five children, which is why people sometimes look at her with mild concern. She longs for an Insta-perfect life like her online hero, Siobhan, but she's drowning in domestic failure. She joins the Copeton craft group in the hope of making some non-virtual friends.

Yasmin is Muslim and proud. But sometimes it would be great if people stopped asking her about her hijab and instead asked who she thought was going to win MasterChef. Pregnant with her first child, she should be elated. So why can't she stop panicking? Perhaps crocheting a set of baby clothes can get her in the right headspace.

With plans for a new mosque and the resettlement of refugees in the retirement village, Copeton becomes a breeding ground for Islamophobia. Together with the other members of the group, this small band of fibre-arts enthusiasts battle racism and bigotry with color and creativity, but will the fragile threads of community be enough to bind them when more than one member has something to hide?

Fabulous Book

I loved this book, heart warming and easy to listen to. Great blend of interesting characters.

Perfect to stitch along to

Excellent book in every way. Filled with great reminders for all of us about the assumptions we make, our own quirks and habits, and how much we all just want (or need) friendship.

Wonderful story! Loved it.

Fabulous Australian novel, heart-warming and significant story about friendship and welcoming communities. Highly recommended. Beautifully narrated.
