The gentle story of Georgia and her daughter Dakota. Georgia is a single mum. James, Dakota's father moved from the USA to France and Georgia was left to raise their baby alone. Through a meeting with a lady in the park she starts Walker and Daughter a yarn shop, which is the venue for the Friday Knitting Club. Life is calm and progressive, until James re enters their lives and wants to get to know his daughter. Just as things start to develop between Georgia and James, something dreadful happens, which leaves the family and friends of Georgia devistated. A really good book, interspersed with knitting pattens and recipes. This is the story of determination,friendship and love.

I needed my tissues! I'm not normally a one for having a blub at 'chick-lit' but I was right there with the kitchen roll lol. This book is simply fabulous, it's heart-warming and endearing. Full of wonderful characters (even if they do have dodgy names!) this was a fabulous find.
I really couldn't put this book down. I started it thinking it would be a trashy frothy read but I quickly became involved in the lives of Georgia (a single mother) and her 12 year old daughter Dakota. The knitting rapidly becomes second best to the wonderful friendships that have developed.
A great story with some tugs at the heart strings. A little predictable in places but a cosy lovely read. Enjoy.

Slow and predictable. Had a feeling from the start that it was a feeble attempt to rival Joanne Harris's Chocolat, expecting to use a similar formula and gather the same... Read more

A little fluffy in places but overall it was a nice, easy read.
When you buy literature like Kate Jacob's book The Friday Night Knitting Club, you really shouldn't expect more than a light, heartfelt read with some cliches thrown in for good... Read more

Rather unlikely
Oddly enough, I agree with much of what reviewers have said - even those who slated the book.
But for me the biggest problem was with THE KNITTING. Read more

Formulaic fluff
Badly written, formulaic, plot devices that were worthy of a 14 year old's writing. If you want a piece of over-sentimental fluff it might be readable, but I didn't even get past... Read more

Heartwarming- a real page turner
Judging from the other reviews on here, this is a bit of a 'marmite' book. I personally loved it however, and I'm quite fussy when it comes to chick-lit. Read more

Clichés, clichés and some more clichés
Let me start by admitting that I did not finish reading this book. I barely made it past the first 50 pages before I gave up. Read more

Sorry - hated this book!
Sorry folks - can't see what all the raves are based on when it comes to this long-winded book. The author just goes on and on into back story and there seems to be little 'action'... Read more

A misuse of perfectly good yarn
This book was bought for me by some thoughtful person that knew I had a passion for knitting. I'm sad to say I'm having more trouble finishing this book than a size 54"... Read more
