The Union Quilters Audiobook

" This is the least favorite of all the Elm Creek Quilters books. But if you are a Civil War buff - you will love it. "

" Jennifer has done it again. I couldn't put it down once I opened it. I always look forward to more from this author and I'm never disappointed. "

" I liked this book because it talked about issues of the Civil War era that are glossed over or not even discussed in school. It helped me relate to the people of the time by talking of issues that are still important today. "

" Not as good as some of her earlier works. Fairly disappointing but good subject matter. "

" Audiobook CD copied to iPhone "

" As I'm not American, I have only a limited interest in the Civil War. And even if I was, the schoolbook-like descriptions of battles and the parties involved would have been too much. I read these books to get into the lives of the quilters! "

" Not my favorite of the series- more historical and a great reminder of the rights women "

" I like history, quilting, and Jennifer Chiaverini. I learned that one of the amazing characters in this book was in fact a real person. I like the way quilts in her books have a life of their own. "

" The complex relationships made this an interesting historical fiction story about the Civil War. The quilting as a means to support the war effort made for a fascinating insight into the lives of the women left behind. "

" read only if you like quilts and history, "

" Library e-book Have read many of her other books - This wasn't one of the best but OK "

" It is a departure from her normal books. It has very little to do with quilting. It focuses on the Civil War and Sylvia Bergstrom's relatives who first moved to Elm Creek. "

" I couldn't finish reading this book. I tried, but just couldn't get into it. "

" Great historical fiction book. I really enjoyed the characters and the time period. I could see the battles in Gettysburg and I liked the strong women in the story. "

" Strong women holding it together while their men are fighting for the Union army during the civil war. "

" I liked it, but felt more was needed... somewhere. Maybe more quilt references as have run through all her books. The history was good, the outcomes were predictable. "

" I always enjoy her books, enjoyed historical references to civil war events. "

" Although it was hard to revisit the Civil War, this book was excellent. Quilting is amazing as a craft, but these women used for so much good during the war. "

" A great book but heartbreaking to see all they went through but also encouraging to see how hard they worked. "

" This book was full of wonderful historical references that brought the Civil War to life in great detail! I thoroughly enjoy this series, and appreciate how she brings these characters to life (whether it is the modern day quilters or their ancestors). I eagerly await the next in the series! "

" Enjoyable book. This book happens at the same time as the Lost Quilt. I was able to learn more about the civil war. Some of the book was hard to read, because of the consequences of the war. "

" I was bored part of the time reading this book. Was like reading a history book on battles of the Civil War at times. Not what I was looking for this time. "

" I have enjoyed every book I have read by this author. Setting during the Civil War. "
