There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later. I finished The Threadbare Heart last night and found myself sobbing, and I wasn't sure why. You get pulled into these characters' lives quickly. The format of having the chapters be from different character's POV is a lovely way to get more insight into each person's life. These characters, as all people, have flaws that few others see and aspects of their lives that others envy, while the people lose sight of what they have.

It shows how quickly humans can question to good things in their lives. It also shows how quickly life can change and put everything into better perspective. I'm still kind of working through the whole story in my mind because it was so rich with detail and emotion that speaks to me in a way a book hasn't done for a very long time.

Perhaps most importantly, I'm glad the dog lives: In The Threadbare Heart, Jennie Nash has written a story of love, loss, family and the many forms each of those can take. There's love for a lifetime, love to help you heal, parental love, and love found when and where it's least expected. Loss comes from death, withdrawal of affection, and unmet expectations. Running through the core of the story is the relationship between Lily and her mother, Eleanor.

They are totally opposite in many ways: Lily has had a lifelong love, and Eleanor never felt a strong enough connection with anyone to form a permanent attachment. Lily loves to sew, and she collects fabric to make clothes and quilts for the ones she loved.

Embarrassed by her own mother's homemade clothes, Eleanor doesn't understand Lily's lack of desire for designer clothing. When Lily and Eleanor are forced by tragedy to take on a bigger role in each other's lives, they struggle to bridge their differences and learn to respect each other for the unique talents they each have.

The Threadbare Heart is told from multiple perspectives, including Lily's husband, Tom, and their sons and daughter in law. This helps the reader see all sides to the story. It's a reminder that most situations don't feature good guys and bad guys, just people with different ideas of how they want to live their lives. In some ways I felt the ending to The Threadbare Heart was abrupt--I could have easily followed Lily and Eleanor's story for many more chapters--but when I finished it I found myself wondering what would happen next in each of the character's lives.

I worried for them, and I hoped for their futures. I expect the issues brought up in the book will stay with me for a long time. While older teens may appreciate reading The Threadbare Heart, I believe it's a better read for adult mothers and their adult daughters. It should open interesting lines of conversation between them about their own relationships.

University of Vermont Professors Lily and Tom are in Santa Barbara visiting her octogenarian mom Eleanor along with their two adult sons, one daughter in law and one grandson in California. Their married son is having marital issues, but overall everything seems okay to the sandwich generation. Trice married and quite wealthy from her business, Eleanor offers to buy the nearby Halewood avocado ranch for her daughter, who initially says no as she prefers not to depend on her mother's money.

However, she and Tom discuss the potential purchase and they agree to a change in lifestyle to pursue middle age dreams. She no longer will update the textbook she has published and he stops writing a new science curriculum.

Instead he will start over with the ranch while she turns to her passion knitting. He will grow and sell avocados, she will stitch clothing and other items. The conversion seems smooth even with her commanding mom nearby until the deadly fire. The story line for the first half or so of the novel is a warm extended family drama with the cast having different personal crisis.

The inferno that wipes out much of Lily's family changes the plot to a person struggling with grief as she slowly though her knitting finds some sense but wonders if her seemingly coldhearted mother is right that giving one's heart away is not worth the cost when death of the loved one is payment due.
