Product Description:
"Intensely thoughtful...honest...intelligent....The book spans half a century and addresses not only (these women's) histories but also their children's, their lovers', their country's, and, in the process, their gender's."
SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE
Eight women gather together over the years to piece together an extrarodinary quilt of their own imaginative devising. And as they stitch, we listen to the stories they have to tell of their successes and failures, their lives and loves, their dreams, desires, and the surprise and sometimes joy of living.
A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE COMING OUT FALL 1995
-- with Winona Ryder, Maya Angelou, and Rip Torn

I liked the book, but something was missing. Somehow it was like a quilt loosely pieced. The texts about quilting and about people were too much apart, but I liked both. Reading about quilting makes my fingers itch. And if only I had seen pictures of quilts!
Anyway, this book was far too long on my shelf. Now I should find a new reader for it.

This is my # 80 (120) in
"REDUCE MOUNT TBR 2012" Challenge arranged by Dove-i-Libri.

I took the book to the meet-up and gave it to the next reader.
Happy reading!

Grabbed this from tonight's meet-up for some comfort reading :)

On the recycling shelf.
