The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas
4.0

This was a sweet and more lighthearted book club book. It is about a group of poor women who are living in Kansas during the dust bowl. They get together and sew beautiful quilts every week. There is gossip, family craziness, accepting the outsiders, and even a murder mystery to solve. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the questions it raised. How far would you go to protect your friends' livelihood and secrets. I recommend this book to others for sure. Because it's a short one, it's easy to read quickly and get immersed in.

PS- the term "persian pickle" is another term for the paisley prints on fabric that are very familiar and intricate.
