How to Make an American Quilt: A Novel
Whitney Otto
Inventive and haunting, How to Make an American Quilt powerfully captures the rites of passage in women’s lives. The art of quiltmaking becomes a metaphor for the realities of being a woman in America as the unforgettable stories of seven members of a contemporary California quilting group unfold. And as we come to understand the beauty and complexity of the quilting process—to see its evolution in our country’s history—we come to intimately know the history of these women as well.
