The Persian Pickle ClubBy Sandra Dallas
St. Martin's Griffin, 1996. 196 pgs. Fiction
The Persian Pickle club is a group of tight-knit women living in Kansas during the Depression. They meet often to work on quilts, to talk, and to help one another. When a newcomer, Rita, joins the group, Queenie, the narrator, is anxious to befriend her and make her feel at home in the group. However, Rita is an aspiring reporter, and her curiosity threatens to bring to light a secret that could be devastating for the group.
This book is delightful! Queenie and her friends, all with their own eccentricities, are quite a group. It's a fun story to read, with its quirky characters and themes of love and friendship.
