1: Warm, interesting and rich with detail
I enjoyed this story from the first page to the last. The writing is so rich you can practically see, smell, feel and hear the characters and the small town in which the story is set. The characters are multi-dimensional and quirky without being beyond the pale. Some of the scenes are laugh-out-loud funny and others will bring tears to your eyes. A very rewarding read. Thank you Rita Mae. I loved this book as much as the Mrs. Murphy series and the Sister Jane series.

2: Sorry, Kathy
A dear friend loved and recommended this book...said she rereads it about once a year. On top of that...all these good reviews here. I must be turning into a crotchety old lady, because I read as long as I could before I became too aggravated with the childish conversations that made the adults seem silly & boring. When does it start to become a wonderful read? Did I give up too early? Ah well..

3: Six of One
First book in the series of three using the same characters. Wonerfully funny and poignant. I highly recommend this book followed by Loose Lips and the Bingo by the same author.

4: Just too funny!
A friend stumbled across this title at a book exchange in Costa Rica when we were travelling about 10 years ago. I have read it every year since and still laugh out loud everytime. Wish they would make a movie of it.

5: be prepared to stick to it to read the whole thing
this was a hard one to get through. it tells the stories of two sisters growing up, as well as their mom, and the woman she works for who is also her good friend. some parts of the book are SO GOOD and some are SO BORING. it's weird...
