When you're in your late twenties and nothing in your life seems to be falling into place,
knitting is an awfully seductive way to spend your free time. After all, as long as you're
following the instructions, you can knit row after row with the knowledge that the pattern
will emerge and you'll end up with just what you wanted. Life, on the other hand, doesn't
come with a stitch counter, so Kathleen, Sari, and Lucy, the heroines of KNITTING UNDER THE
INFLUENCE, just have to figure things out as they go along.
Their weekly Sunday knitting circle is the only thing holding them together as Kathleen is
cut off financially by her family and forced to enter 'the real world' for the very first
time at the age of twenty-seven, Sari finds herself falling for the man who made her life
a living hell in high school but who now desperately needs her help, and Lucy finds herself
torn between emotion and reason when her lab and her boyfriend are assailed by an animal-
rights group.
At their club meetings, they discuss the really important questions: how bad is it,
really, to marry for money if you like the guy a lot anyway? Can you ever forgive someone
for something truly atrocious that they've done? Is it better to be unhappily coupled than
happily alone? And the little ones: Can you wear a bra with a hand-knit tube top? Is it ever
acceptable to knit something for a boyfriend? And why do your stitches become lopsided after
your second martini?
In Claire LaZebnik's hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking novel, Sari, Lucy, and Kathleen's
lives intersect, overlap, unravel, and come back together-the result is an utterly satisfying
read.
