Customer Review: How this appalling excuse for a novel fooled its way on to the NYT Best Seller List baffles me. I guess legions of half-literate bored housewives eat this tripe up.

I am literally working my... more info

Knitting Brioche is available from all the usual sources (Amazon etc) The author also has her own website that shows various... more info
