Helpful Score: 2


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 group stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another. In her magical, memorable novel, Saundra Dallas explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad.
