If you could sum up in Woolen Bikinis (Jean and Rosie Series) (Volume 2) in three words, what would they be?
friendship - eventful, compassionate
Who was your favorite character and why?
Rosie. Sweet and even somewhat childish, at the same time she has great depths of wisdom and courage.
What about Carolyn Power’s performance did you like?
Carolyn Power's performance is simply remarkable. She is a one woman acting troupe! Each character has his or her own voice so that you feel you really know these people well. At the same time you forget that Carolyn is even there, because she immerses you in the story. Carolyn's voice is full of compassion and warmth; she is like a wonderful friend and companion and because of that she is able to convey the specialness of the great friendship between Jean and Rosie. I must say that having finished this second volume of the series, and having enjoyed two volumes of the Jean and Rosie series, I really miss the story and Carolyn's wonderful voice. Can't wait for the third installment!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
At times this book made me cry and often it made me laugh. It is serious yet often funny.
Any additional comments?
I love the store that the two friends have created - knitting and books! This friendship is deep on so many levels, yet each friend has her own individual personality and they sometimes disagree. But with this store they have created something wonderful together. The store brings in their families, their friends, and even a very special surprise - a very important surprise - for Rosie! But I won't give it away.
