The Persian Pickle Club by Sandra Dallas


Rating: 4.5/5


Review: This was a very sweet book. I loved the small town feel, and the togetherness of the women in the club. It definitely had a Steel Magnolias feel to it, but there's actually a mystery element that gives it flavor. I adored the main character, Queenie, and seeing the women through her eyes. This was a quick, fun, and uplifting read.


Book Description: It 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.
