This book is written in a poetic and lyrical manner. Great if you like that, but unfortunatly I couldn't get past page 20.

I have been wanting to read this book for quite a while. i was a little disappointed in the structure of it. It is not that big of a book but took me some time to get into it and keep everybody straight.

I wasn't very fond of this book. I thought it would be a nice story about a group of women friends, but it was depressing and rather boring.

A interesting extended allegory of life as a quilt. The story circles around the women of a California quilting circle. I found it somewhat disjointed, enjoyable in parts, unique.

I enjoyed this book very much. It is very well written, great character development. I first saw the movie, which is different from the book, of course. Then I listened to the abridged version on tape, then I read it. It is worth reading!
