"Union Quilters" by Jennifer Chiaverini was a disappointment to all of us. We felt that the book was not engaging and that the characters were flat. Several of us had read other books in the Elm Creek Quilters series which we enjoyed much more. We know that Chiaverini has the ability to develop characters in depth (because she did in her other books), but in Union Quilters, she failed to do so. We weren't invested in the characters in this book, so the book failed to sustain our interest. I had to push myself to keep reading. The Civil War was the story in this book whereas we would have liked to know more about the characters. "Union Quilters" is definitely not her best book. ~ Carolyn

There were a couple of us book club members that enjoyed reading about the historical insights and about the Civil War battles, but even in those the characters did seem emotionless and flat.
