I have read all of the Elm Creeks books, and I loved that this book returned to the original characters and quilting. The book follows Bonnie, as she moves to Hawaii temporarily to help her old college friend start a quilt camp based on Elm Creek. If you'd enjoyed Bonnie in the previous books, you will enjoy this book. To me, the characters lacked depth, and I just didn't enjoy the story which reflected on Bonnie's unhappy marriage, and her interaction with her soon to be ex-husband during her divorce. The history of Hawaii was interesting. The book is a quick easy read.
I liked this book particularly for its glimpse into Hawaiian history. The descriptive scenes were very well done as I thought I could envision the Crater that the main characters visited at the end of the book and I can fully understand why this place would evoke deep contemplation. A perfect spot to soothe a troubled soul! I did think that the last part of the book was a bit over the top and I began to lose interest in Bonnie's plight. It ended well and with possibilities for a follow up!
I forgot how much I loved these books. I will try to get caught up. A fun read.
It was an awesome book. I look forward to reading more Elm Creek Quilt books.
