Question from the reading guide: In your opinion, what is the main lesson of The Friday Night Knitting Club?
Answer: It's to give everyone - including yourself- a chance. Within the core of this book lies the central theme of forgiveness.
The Friday Night Knitting Club is a collection of women, each with a different story to tell. It is set in a New York Knitting shop called Walker and Daughter. Its owner, Georgia Walker, is a single mom trying to raise her bi-racial daughter named Dakota. She had her share of grief as the people she loved most either left or betrayed her - first her bestfriend Cat (who ditched her for college) and then, her boyfriend James who ran away when she told him she was pregnant. Her life changes when these two characters walk back in her life demanding her attention, and most of all, her forgiveness.
I was never one for chick lit/drama books. Nonetheless, I loved reading this book. Maybe because it talks about friendship as much as it talks about second chances and forgiveness.Also, I loved how the different women, with personal outlooks of their own, synergized and settled their differences through an old/traditional activity-knitting.
Final words: Life is what you make it and it's up to you how to knit or purl yours.
