moondance120 's review for:
The Persian Pickle Club
by Sandra Dallas
The first time she saw the members of the Persian Pickle Club, Rita told me after I got to know her, she thought we looked just like a bunch of setting hens.
Rita joins the Persian Pickle Club, a ladies quilting group, after she moves to Harveyville, Kansas in the 1930s. Rita is seen as a humming bird among a flock of chickens. She is far more exotic that the other ladies. Gossip flows during the gatherings and Rita learns a dark secret that the ladies have.
I need this book for a challenge otherwise I'm not sure that I would have picked it up. I did think that the setting of the book was well done. I wish the characters had had a bit more development. I never truly connected with any of them.
I did like that the name of the group came from their favorite paisley print. I couldn't figure that part out when I first started reading it.
The mystery and "dark secret" was presented well. I was still a bit confused at the end of the book about the actual revelation of guilt.
I'm not sure if I will read anything else by the author.
