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.

I thought I had read this when it first came out and I remember not liking it - I thought it was wonderful this time around. I had trouble keeping all of the Pickle ladies straight and who was related to whom, so I wrote up a chart. That made the story SO much easier to follow. This book is about friendship through and through. It really made me look at my friendships and to value those friends for who they are and not critize for what they are not. Sandra Dallas did it again!
No wonder I've been drawn to paisley prints (i.e. Persian pickle) all these years ... quiltin' and killin' set in 1930s Kansas by a Colorado author ... the right combination of homegoods and suspense for a quick summer read.
