I absolutely L O V E this book. There is a movie of it, but as usual, there is no comparison. If you have ever been in love, and have ever had a good friend, this book will touch your heart.

I enjoyed how the author spanned several histories to tell the story of these women.

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.
