EDNA O'BRIEN
The Light of Evening is a novel of dreams and betrayals, but at its core is the realization that the bond between a mother and child is unbreakable, stronger even than death. With its loving evocation of the Irish landscape, its cinematic portrait of New York in the 1920s as seen through the eyes of an immigrant, and its central mother-daughter relationship, it is certain to bring this daring writer her widest audience yet. |

MAGGIE PACE
There seem to be a number of knitters and crochet workers that are throwing caution to the wind and tossing their wool creations into washing machines filled with hot water. Sometimes even with a pair of denims or sneakers. Are they crazy? No. Wasteful? Certainly not. Maggie Pace, owner of Pick Up Sticks in Oakland, shows how to turn knit fabric into tightly-woven felt material that can be used for hats, scarves and purses. |
