Edition DescriptionAnniversary
SynopsisIt is the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there's not a job to be found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When a new member of the club stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another. In her magical, memorable novel, Sandra Dallas explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad.
This is not just a book for quilters!
It is a mystery featuring the friendship of women who just happen to come together to quilt. It is set in the Depression era, so it also has a glimpse into that period of history.
I received this book as a gift initially, and have turned around and gifted it to several of my friends!
