An astute telling of the ordinary events that make up our lives. The writing is told so compellingly and with such insight, that one wonders, "How could I miss the significance of this in my own life". Other reviewers have nailed it by writing that Carol had "...an exceptional talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the mundane, and the dramatic in the domestic." ( )

This is a great collection of essays by Canadian women, but I think I preferred Dropped Threads 2 a bit more. Some of the essays in this collection are funny, some sad, some shocking, and some are a bit boring, but overall, it is a wonderful read. ( )
