Someone had researched the shoe making industry thoroughly and the author seemed to include every detail. The family members were interesting, but the pages of description really killed what could have been a good story. Try Big Stone Gap instead. Linda Agreed, the novel is not one of Trigiani’s best.

I could not make it past the first chapter. I love simple romance novels. The ones that begin with a mutual dislike, add some romantic tension that utlimately leads to a happy ending and I have a good "Sunday Book". Count me in! If you add a villian that allows the male character be a hero, all the better.But this book was terrible from the start. There was simply to much background scenery coupled with a gaggle of strange characters that you probably wouldn't see again until the end of the book - it was overwhleming and not very interesting. I rarely stop reading a book but this was an exception. After noting that you had read the book- I thought I would give it a try. I could not make it past the first chapter.
