Title: Quilting, mystery, women's issues -- this book has it all
Review: At first I was fascinated by the names of the characters -- Queenie, Septima, Ceres, Forest Ann, and more -- were those common names in Kansas during the Depression? I don't know, but that is just one feature of this book that is thought provoking. Sandra Dallas deals with many women's issues in this book that are still with us today -- single mothers, unwanted pregnancy, domestic violence, career fulfillment, adoption -- it is humbling to remember that the baby boomers didn't invent theses issues and that feminists haven't solved them. This book is good on so many levels, I think it is one of the best books I've ever read.
