The English Understand Wool is a gem. I learned of it from Nigella Lawson, who posted about it on her Instagram. Reading your enthusiastic endorsement makes me want to reread it…again. I just bought Wool Gathering, by Patti Smith, another shortie with the word ‘wool’ in the title!

I've heard great things about Wool Gathering! The only book I've ready by Smith is Just Kids, but I absolutely loved it!

I've been so into short novels these last few weeks! I just read The Most by Jessica Anthony yesterday. The English Understand Wool sounds so good; put it on hold at the library!
