I read "The Knitting Circle" by Ann Hood last year and I enjoyed it immensely. In that book there was a character whose young daughter had died. She begins to knit in an attempt to keep her sanity during those dark days. That character was based on Ann Hood and this book is her personal story. It is a powerful story compacted into a short book. I don't know to whom I should recommend this book. If you have children you probably don't want to read about a mother losing her child. If you've lost a child I doubt you want to relive the pain.
So that leaves me. "Comfort" is well-written. It makes you feel her pain. You won't forget it.
