The Norwich Bookstore Ann Hood The Book That Matters Most

Author Ann Hood is back at the Norwich Bookstore to present her new novel, The Book That Matters Most.
Ava's 25-year marriage has fallen apart, and her two grown children are pursuing their own lives outside of the country. She joins a book group, and through it, rediscovers a mysterious book from her childhood: one that helped her through the deaths of her sister and mother. Alternating with Ava's story is that of her troubled daughter Maggie, who, living in Paris, descends into a destructive relationship with an older man. Ava's mission to find that book and its enigmatic author takes her on a quest that unravels the secrets of her past and offers her and Maggie the chance to remake their lives.
Hood is the editor of Knitting Yarns: Writers on Knitting and the best-selling author of The Knitting Circle and An Italian Wife, among other works. She is the recipient of two Pushcart Prizes and numerous other awards. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island.
