A review by akwillson
The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas

4.0

I have wanted to read this one since last year. I should've probably read it before The Four Winds by Kristin Hannah (which is my favorite read of 2021 so far). The novel takes place in the 1930s in Kansas. It's the dust bowl and crops are drying up, as are jobs. Queenie Bean (the main character) loves to gather with her friends for meetings of the Persian Pickle Club. Persian Pickle has something to do with quilting. The women quilt and gossip. Suddenly a new member of the community (and the club) reveals a disturbing secret and the women of the Persian Pickle club must join together to protect each other. I really liked it, but gave it 4 stars because nothing is going to match up to The Four Winds.
