LOVE IN BLOOM

LOVE IN BLOOM is a wonderful story with characters so real and defined I feel like I am personally acquainted with them. Each of these women has a tale to tell, and when they can't talk to their families, they talk to each other. There is humor and emotion in large quantities in this fantastic book that is next to impossible to put down. Kudos and a large bouquet of flowers to Sheila Roberts for giving us one of the best books of the year.

On Strike For Christmas

"A fun and festive debut; for all women’s fiction collections."
— Library Journal

"Roberts's sweetly vengeful dig at do-nothing husbands follows a smalltown knitting club of wives who are sick and tired of toiling over elaborate Christmas preparations that their husbands don't appreciate. As they go on strike, the women try to stay in solidarity, while the husbands plan retaliation at the hardware store. Roberts revels in detailing the husbands' awkward, often disastrous handling of tasks their wives habitually do for Christmas (taking the kids to see Santa, planning the party, doing up the house). By the end of this gently feminist sendup, each side learns to be grateful for the other's efforts. "
— Publisher’s Weekly
