Title: The good, the bad and....
Review: Well, this book is hard to rate. If you are a quilter or want to be a quilter it can be interesting as it introduces the reader to various aspects of quilting albeit a bit too detailed and, at the same time, not detailed enough.The plot, while slow moving, does carry the reader along to the end.The characters, now that is what is suspect. The young married couple, Sarah and Matthew sound like 16 year olds in their dialogue and yet they have been out of college for several years and both have professional degress. In fact, Sarah, is an accountant although she is sophmoric in her speech pattern. Mrs. Compson, starts off curmudgeonly but evolves into a genuinely likeable character. Nevertheless, the dialogue between her and the "children" are a distraction. Trite, hackneyed.... If the reader has time to overlook the dialogue shortcomings, then the book is interesting.
