Sadie Shapiro's Knitting Book

Sadie Shapiro is the heroine of one of the funniest warmest novels in years. Sadie is seventy-two years old or perhaps seventy-five (she isn't quite sure) and lives in the Mount Eden Senior Citizens Hotel. When she submits 50 of her best knitting patterns to an ailing publishing firm the course of her life changes. Not only is her book published but Sadie becomes the peoples' darling the pure-gold TV talk show guest who knits herself into the fabric of myth. A big-hearted moving hilariously irresistible book.
