This collection of short stories take place in the fictional
town of Avalon, Illinois. More character than plot driven, they are a
beautiful and heartwarming stories. The stories are connected not only
by being set in the same town, but some characters are in more than one
story, and events are often referenced that took place in previous
stories.
The author's writing style reminds me of the
stories by Fannie Flagg. The characters are authentic, and as soon as I
finished one story, I couldn't wait to read the next one. This a good
book to curl up with on a cold night with a warm blanket and a hot cup
of tea.
