The Love Charm - Small Town Swains
Author: Pamela Morsi

Cajun Louisiana is the setting for this story of mismatched couples, community expectations and a dose of magic. Aida and Armand have been friends since childhood. Laron and Helga became lovers by chance. A fateful fais-do-do brings changes for all. Amazon.com Review Aida Gaudet is the most beautiful woman on the Vermilion River, and ordinary Ar... more »mand Sonnier is in love with her. The problem is that Aida is to wed Armand's best friend, Laron Boudreau. The local healer convinces Aida that she is destined to learn the trade. Aida turns to Armand for help. Her memory isn't good and she asks Armand to write down all that the healer teaches her. The healer uses a few tricks of the trade to bring the couple together. But is it true love at work or a love charm? Colorful characters and a delightful story make this a charming read. From Publishers Weekly Morsi continues her heartland romances about insular societies, the rules they follow and the rules they get around. In 19th century Louisiana, five Acadians and a German search for love: Armand Sonnier fears he's not cute enough for Aida Gaudet, the prettiest girl on the Vermilion River; Laron Boudreau is pledged to Aida but in love with Helga Shotz, almost 10 years his senior and still married; and Jean Baptiste Sonnier and his wife Felicite are young and saddled with three children and a fourth on the way. As usual, Morsi's hero doesn't conform to the romantic ideal. In Simple Jess he was simpleminded; in The Love Charm, Armand is shorter than the heroine? when they finally dance she can see the part in his hair? and he's a virgin. In Morsi's finely drawn, anthropologically correct landscape, virtue enhances pleasure on the moral road of "Love. Sexual union. Procreation. Eternity." From Library Journal Armand Sonnier and Aida Gaudet have loved each other all their lives-the problem is they just don't believe it! But one person knows what is meant to be; and when Orva Landry, the local wisewoman and "treater," lends a hand, things have a way of coming out right. Sympathetic and somewhat unconventional protagonists, a cast of remarkable secondary characters, and an abundance of Cajun lore and ambiance make this a charming romance. Fans of the novels of Jill Marie Landis or early LaVyrle Spencer may also enjoy Morsi's books. She won a Rita this year for Something Shady (Berkley, 1995) and lives in Texas.
