I recently discovered Trigiani through reading her "Lucia, Lucia," and I promptly put all her books on my wishlist. I found this one today at a library book sale for 50 cents and snatched it up!

This was a real disappointment to me, especially since I had enjoyed Lucia, Lucia by Trigiani so much. I found Big Stone Gap disjointed and unrealistic. The main character, Ave Maria, never rang true for me. I didn't understand her motivations and she didn't seem like a real person. And the plot just seemed to swing around all over the place without much direction.

I have two others books in this series, but I have decided to pass them along without reading them. I just didn't enjoy the first book enough to continue with the series.

This one is headed out to iwillrejoice, who had it on her wishlist. Enjoy!

Arrived safely today. Thank you so much!

I already read this book. Received from the estate of Iwillrejoice. She is is rejoicing in heaven. I will find a new home for this book.

Enjoy! KTM for 4 Elements and Oh the Places we Can Go Release Challenge 2024 - Stone
