In the village of Lauscha in Germany, things have been done the same way for centuries. The men blow the glass, and the women decorate and pack it. But when Joost Steinmann passes away unexpectedly one September night, his three daughters must learn to fend for themselves. While feisty Johanna takes a practical approach to looking for work, Ruth follows her heart, aiming to catch the eye of a handsome young villager. But it is dreamy, quiet Marie who has always been the most captivated by the magic - and sparkling possibilities - of the craft of glassblowing. As the spirited sisters work together to forge a brighter future for themselves on their own terms, they learn not only how to thrive in a man’s world, but how to remain true to themselves - and their hearts - in the process.

The constant change of POV was a little distracting, making it difficult to figure out who to follow with a consistent thread, and who to sympathize with.
But the story was well thought out & very enjoyable to read.
Heartwarming

Any additional comments?
This was a pleasant "read" for a long car ride; no great surprises, but a sympathetic tale of a glassblowing town and three sisters who are a part of it. As a person who speaks German, some of the translation seemed a bit off to me, and I'm going to try to get a copy of the German version for comparison. However, the narrator was very good and easy to listen to.Enjoyable for a long car ride
