The Persian Pickle Club
7 journalers for this copy...
a book about friendships of different women in Kansas during the "dust bowl". I really enjoyed this book, it told of women who can come together in hard times and protect each other. Maybe thats what we need more of even today. Now I will have to find more of this authors books.
sent to awakeagain for a relay.......enjoy!
Rec'd as a BookRelay request
This book is testament to the fact that groups of women often have more in common than in differences. It's the story of a quilting circle reminiscent of Chiaverini's series. This one features small-town Kansas farm women and their quilting group, The Persian Pickle Club (named after a quilt of course) is the center of daily life for many of the members.
The books ends with something of an Agatha Christie twist, unexpected but enjoyable.
I have another book by the same author and I'm looking forward to reading that one after enjoying this so much.

I received this in the mail today from awakeagain. It looks great and I look forward to starting it soon.
This was the second book by this author that I have read, and I was not disappointed. I really enjoy reading historical fiction, and the author did a great job of developing the personalities of the main characters based on what it was like to live through the Dust Bowl era of the mid-west. You just couldn't help caring about these women and the trials they were going through to keep their farms and their families together. I will be pming the next person in line to receive this book and its companion.

After enjoying Alice's Tulips so much I couldn't wait to get started on this one. I wasn't disappointed. Once again Sandra Dallas has managed to bring to life an era I knew very little about. I did find the ending a little hard to swallow, but that did not marr my enjoyment. Again, I loved the details about the quilting, and my fingers are just itching to get sewing.
I have pm'ed quizgirl for her address.

This book reached me safely today, thank you so much, I am really looking forward to reading it :)
This was a really interesting story, with a nice twist to the end. Since this is a bookray and I'm last on the list, I'll be sending it on to a fellow bookcrosser in Queensland to keep the ray moving.
This book will depart for Queensland tomorrow morning (04/01/2006). Enjoy :)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book as well ... and am now passing it on to my friend Anne ...
