What Are The Library’s Book Cub Members Reading This Month?

One of author Sandra Dallas’ novels, “The Persian Pickle Club” is December’s chosen book by the library’s book club members. The story takes place in the 1930s, and hard times have hit Harveyville, Kansas, where the crops are burning up, and there’s not a job to be found. For Queenie Bean, a young farm wife, a highlight of each week is the gathering of the Persian Pickle Club, a group of local ladies dedicated to improving their minds, exchanging gossip, and putting their quilting skills to good use. When a new member of the club stirs up a dark secret, the women must band together to support and protect one another. In her magical, memorable novel, Sandra Dallas explores the ties that unite women through good times and bad (from the publisher).

What is the story of the pickle ornament? A very old Christmas Eve tradition in Germany was to hide a pickle ( ornament ) deep in the branches of the family Christmas Tree. The parents hung the pickle last after all the other ornaments were in place. In the morning they knew the most observant child would receive an extra gift from St Nicholas. And now you know!

Stop by the library soon and pick up your copy of “The Persian Pickle Club” by Sandra Dallas.
