Synopsis
When her husband dies in a car crash - not long after announcing he wants a divorce - Jo Mackenzie packs up her two rowdy boys and moves from London to a dilapidated villa in her seaside hometown. There, she takes over her beloved Gran's knitting shop. After a rough beginning, Jo soon finds comfort in a "Stitch and Bitch" group - a collection of quirky, lively women who share their stories, and their addiction to cake, with warmth and humor.

Review
"Smart novels about starting over don't get any better than this sweet treat. McNeil's top-notch writing and quick wit keep the plot spinning until the wholly satisfying, and not entirely expected, conclusion." "Publishers Weekly (starred review)""
"Funny and sparkling--a profoundly moving study of motherhood and true love." "Ruth Rendell""
