A review by katkinney
The Oysterville Sewing Circle by Susan Wiggs

5.0

What a wonderful, winding tale of going home and discovering yourself. Caroline Shelby returns home to Washington State with two children she’s adopted after her best friend suddenly dies under suspicious circumstances and after being abuses. Having lost her career in the fashion industry and struggling to figure out how to raise two kids, she forms a domestic abuse support group and begins picking up sewing projects, as well as reconnecting with old friends.

The characters completely made this one. I loved Caroline and her sisters, as well as all the characters in small town Oysterville. Will. Sierra. That slow burn, wonderful love story. If you love flashbacks, this is a great novel for you! Lots of rich, rich backstory and slow development of relationships that come together in the end. What a wonderful, richly drawn town with an interesting plot. Heartwarming and a great read.

Trigger Warnings:
Spoiler domestic abuse, sexual assault
