Friday Night Knitting Club

En algún lugar de Manhattan, en el segundo piso de un viejo edificio, se encuentra Walker e Hija: Labores de Tejido, una tienda de estambres cuya propietaria es la emprendedora madre soltera Georgia Walker. Ella ha logrado, gracias a su tenacidad, sacar adelante el negocio y educar a su inquieta hija Dakota. Cada viernes se reúnen en la pequeña tienda varias clientas para realizar labores de punto, pero también para hablar de sus ilusiones, sus sueños y sus frustraciones. Surge así "El Club de los Viernes", un espacio de encuentro y comprensión que ha traído felicidad a la vida de Georgia. Sin embargo, el cielo comienza a tornarse gris. Algunos sucesos inesperados amenazan la tranquilidad de Georgia y la enfrentan con su pasado. James, su novio de juventud y padre de Dakota, ha regresado de Francia para conocer a su hija. Además, una antigua compañera de escuela de Georgia convertida ahora en una millonaria reaparece de manera sorpresiva para enredar el tejido de su existencia.

El club de los viernes

The ladies of the #1 "New York Times" bestselling "The Friday Night Knitting Club" are back. Not only are the holidays are just around the corner, the women have an extra reason to celebrate: there's a wedding planned for New Year's Day.

Gathering for their weekly knitting club at a small yarn shop on Manhattan's upper west side, a group of friends shares such challenges as raising children, navigating the ups and downs of their education and careers, and pursuing uncertain relationships. Reprint. 350,000 first printing.

THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Once a week, an eclectic group of women comes together at a New York City yarn shop to work on their latest projects—and share the stories of their lives... At the center of Walker and Daughter is the shop’s owner, Georgia, who is overwhelmed with juggling the store and single-handedly raising her teenage daughter. Happy to escape the demands of her life, she looks forward to her Friday Night Knitting Club, where she and her friends—Anita, Peri, Darwin, Lucie, and KC—exchange knitting tips, jokes, and their deepest secrets. But when the man who once broke Georgia’s heart suddenly shows up, demanding a role in their daughter’s life, her world is shattered. Luckily, Georgia’s friends are there for encouragement, sharing their own tales of intimacy, heartbreak, and miracle-making. And when the unthinkable happens, these women will discover that what they’ve created isn’t just a knitting club: it’s a sisterhood.

Dakota Walker--along with her father, her grandparents, and her mother's best friend, Catherine--visits her Gran for the Christmas holidays in Scotland, where the family members reminisce about Dakota's mother, Georgia.
