Some History About The Book
“You’re writing a novel about an old lady who knits? Are you crazy?”
That’s what my editor told me.
“Write a thriller,” my agent said.
“I hate the idea,” my wife said.
But Sadie Shapiro, that smart, tough, sweet and talented lady jumped up onto my shoulder and said, “Write!” And I did.
What happened?
Sadie Shapiro’s Knitting Book was a Book of the Month Club Alternate Selection, A Readers Digest Condensed Book, the very first fiction selection of the Better Homes & Gardens Book Club. It went around the world and was printed in 15 languages. It was a runaway best-seller in France and Germany.
Now I’ve brought Sadie Shapiro back in a quality paperback edition. People don’t just enjoy Sadie – they love her.
That genius of knitting knows about love and life as well as she touches people in her own special way.
She’s warm, she’s human, she’s unforgettable
