The Friday Night Knitting Club

Additional The Friday Night Knitting Club Information

Walker and Daughter is Georgia Walker's little yarn shop, tucked into a quiet storefront on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The Friday Night Knitting Club was started by some of Georgia's regulars, who gather once a week to work on their latest projects and to chat-and occasionally clash-over their stories of love, life, and everything in between.

Georgia has her hands full, juggling the demands of running the store and raising her spunky teen daughter, Dakota, by herself. Thank goodness for Anita, her mentor and dear friend, and the rest of the members of the knitting club-who are just as varied as the skeins of yarn in the shop's bins. There's Peri, a prelaw student turned handbag designer; Darwin, a somewhat aloof feminist grad student; and Lucie, a petite, quiet woman who's harboring some secrets of her own.

However, unexpected changes soon throw these women's lives into disarray, and the shop's comfortable world gets shaken up like a snow globe. James, Georgia's ex, decides that he wants to play a larger role in Dakota's life-and possibly Georgia's as well. Cat, a former friend from high school, returns to New York as a rich Park Avenue wife and uneasily renews her old bond with Georgia. Meanwhile, Anita must confront her growing (and reciprocated) feelings for Marty, the kind neighborhood deli owner. And when the unthinkable happens, they realize what they've created: not just a knitting club, but a sisterhood

What Customers Say About The Friday Night Knitting Club:

I am not a advid reader,but this book was one of the BEST books I have ever read. It was an affirmation of what I believe Everything happens for a reason. I love how I could relate to the characters. This book draws you into every character. You might not know why,but in the end it works out most of the time. Can't wait to read Knit Two.

At first I found this to be a slow reader, however, it could have been just me. I have enjoyed the book, and look forward to the second one.

I love to knit and thought this would be a great book to read. I loved it and will read it again. I am glad the author came out with a second book to this which is excellent as well.

It was so predictable it was boring. I didn't even bother to finish this. I wasn't expecting the great American novel- but something light and entertaining. Characters and plot felt plugged into a formula, as though the author was picturing it being made into a cheesy movie as she wrote it. Too many books in the world and too little time to spend it on ones like this.

I enjoyed this book. Steel Magnolias in Manhattan.I agree. They are a quirky bunch.Some of the characters are more developed than others and I did not like a few of the plot twists, especially towards the end.

The main character is Georgia, who owns a knitting shop, which is the setting for much of the book. Overall, I was satisfied to spend time with the ladies in this book. It's not perfect but I liked coming to know these women.

With so many characters, it's to be expected that some are weaker than others. She has a 12 yr old biracial daughter, Dakota, whose father is an ex-boyfriend, who has come back into their lives after many years. The other main characters are members of the knitting group that meets at the store.

I do think the cover blurb has it right. I am looking forward to the movie.
