Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |

The Lace Makers of Glenmara
by
Barbieri, Heather
Would you look for a new beginning in an old country? Kate Robinson does.Exhausted from devastating losses in every aspect of her life, young fashion designer and seamstress, Kate, travels to Ireland, making good on a promise to her dying mother to visit their ancestral home. Sadly unable to make the long planned and hoped for mother-daughter trip any longer, Kate travels alone, trying to outdistance her sadness and anger.Through Kate, the reader is introduced to Glenmara, a tiny, close-knit fishing community of determined inhabitants intent on maintaining their existence and their traditions. Stopping to rest on her pedestrian journey through Ireland, Kate is quickly accepted by the widow Bernie, who is part of a lace making group???caretakers of the hand-made lace craft passed along for generations in their community. As Kate is taught to make lace, she begins to ???pick up the thread??? of her life. Bringing her own talents to the lace makers??? lack of sales of traditional linens, tablecloths and towels, she is able to teach them to reimaging their craft. The reader is drawn into the circumstances of each of the lace makers, who discover that changing the lace, changes their lives.I easily recommend this book to others;??? no needlework experience required. The finely developed characters left this reader hoping for a sequel so that I might continue further into the life of Glenmara and the people that I???d come to know and appreciate.--JK Campbell, Colorado State University Bookstore (Fort Collins, CO) |
