mysterious slow-paced
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

This was my least favorite of the Sandra Dallas books I've read so far. I found the characters more two-dimensional and one of the things I have most loved about the other books of hers I've read is how real and captivating her characters are.
With her other books I've been loathe to stop reading, and with this one I found I had to talk myself into continuing on.
At least that was true about the first half of the book. In the middle it felt like she found her voice and the characters became more real and the story more compelling. I definitely enjoyed the second half of the book so much more and only wish it had started as strong as it ended.


Quilting group in Kansas during the depression. Easy read and likable characters but too saccharin-y for my taste. Difficult to believe that the husbands didn't know any of this stuff was going on. The town only had about 12 people in it.

I'm not sure why it took me so long to read this.

Audiobook.

Meh?

I really enjoyed this book. The Persian Pickle Club is a quilting group, and this group of ladies really stick together through thick and thin in a small town in Kansas during the great depression.
