It might be too quiet for some readers. Much of the narrative is devoted to lengthy descriptions of Honor quilting and performing other homely domestic tasks. These scenes can become rather ponderous. Woot!  A novel with quilting in it. I am still wondering how much they are asking for that quilt shop. Wouldn't it be like an Elm Creek Quilt novel to own your own shop?  Ah.  To have all that fabric and sewing machines whirring and...wake up!
