About this audiobook
Milk Glass Moon, the third book in Adriana Trigiani's bestselling Big Stone Gap series, continues the life story of Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney as she faces the challenges and changes of motherhood with her trademark humor and honesty. With twists as plentiful as those found on the holler roads of southwest Virginia, this story takes turns that will surprise and enthrall the reader.
Transporting us from Ave Maria's home in the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Italian Alps, from New York City to the Tuscan countryside, Milk Glass Moon is the story of a shifting mother-daughter relationship, of a daughter's first love and a mother's heartbreak, of an enduring marriage that contains its own ongoing challenges, and of a community faced with seismic change.
All of Trigiani's beloved characters are back: Jack Mac, Ave Maria's true love, who is willing to gamble security for the unknown; her best friend and confidant, bandleader Theodore Tip-ton, who begins a new life in New York City; librarian and sexpert Iva Lou Wade Makin, who faces a life-or-death crisis. Meanwhile, surprises emerge in the blossoming of crusty cashier Fleeta Mullins, the maturing of mountain girl turned savvy businesswoman Pearl Grimes, and the return of Pete Rutledge, the handsome stranger who turned Ave Maria's world upside down in Big Cherry Holler.
In this rollicking hayride of upheaval and change, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundation. As Ave Maria reaches into the past to find answers to the present, readers will stay with her every step of the way, rooting for the onetime town spinster who embraced love and made a family. Milk Glass Moon is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical and heartfelt.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5There's something about the characters that Trigiani creates--they are very memorable. I've read all the Big Stone Gap books together, recently, for the first time, and the characters are sticking in my head. Good fun--great summer reading.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Trigiani is a wonderful author and this series of books is simply marvelous.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5for some reason this was my least favorite in the big stone gap series. it had a rushed, pat feeling. ave maria seemed much more bossy and less likeable than usual, at least in her interactions with etta...although an explanation was supplied. also, the resolution to her conflict with her daughter seemed forced and too quick...she was angry on one page and over it two pages later (or at least it seemed that way). still, adriana trigiani is one of my favorite writers and i am definitely looking forward to her next book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Not as interesting as the first two in the series, but still a fun read and escape to the 'South', as well as Italy. I do love the main characters voice. She often has the same reactions that I do to certain situations - like running in to the floozy (Karen Bell) that attempted to steal her husband. Great internal dialog there;) A fun and delightful continuation to the history of Ave Marie, Jack Mac and their daughter Etta, as well as all the other eccentrics of Big Stone Gap that I have come to love.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Not horrible, not great either.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of my favorite authors. Great read! I highly recommend it.

I don't know why I do this to myself time and time again... I feel compelled to finish a series once I start... Must be the school teacher in me ...ugh...this one is particularly same old, same old... Very predictable-which I knew it would be...I need to stop the madness! - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Trigiani's writing. Her characters open themseleves to us, letting us inside their fears, their joys, their flaws, their happiness. This is the third book in the Big Stone Gap series. I will continue to read her works.
