This book reminds me of Where The Heart Is... a little corny, with characters you can't help but like, and a story line that just carries the reader away. Like the rest of Landvik's books, the characters are quirky and the plot moves in unexpected directions. Have tissues on hand before the ending!

Wonderful, heart-wrenching...couldn't put it down. One of Landvik's best novels.

This book contained diverse and interesting characters, but even more I was drawn in by the fact that it did not follow the standard "formula" of women's literature. These characters had much to overcome and I felt that this book highlighted the strength we can find in unexpected places. The story is set during the Depression, but does not have the typical feel of historical fiction, yet you get a strong sense of how the time setting has a huge impact on the characters' lives. Very interesting read.
why has this not been made into a movie,?! Seriously,a little bit, "That Thing You Do" and "To Kill A Mockingbird", I couldn't stop reading this book. I Love the characters and the relationships that make this a must read.
Horrible
