Book Review of The Florabama Ladies' Auxiliary and Sewing Circle

The Florabama Ladies' Auxiliary  and Sewing Circle
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


So, if you're into "chick-lit" I think this is probably a great choice. I had an expectation about it being more about labor organizing and the deep connections between working class women (these topics are briefly looked at) and as such I was a little confused by the central themes of divorce and an middle aged woman's return to sexuality (which was actually pretty sweet). In other words, if you're looking for Southern Literature with edge a la Dorothy Allison, this might not do it for you. On the other hand, if you want a sweet story about a woman rediscovering herself in the South, it's a pleasant read.
