Seashells, Gator Bones, and the Church of E… Tekijä: Susan Adger
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.Most people have secrets. The problem with Toad Springs, FL is that everybody knows you and they won't stay quiet. Each chapter is from a different character's perspective, each one knows part of the story but not all of it. Piece all their tales together and you get a vivid picture of 1930s small town life.
Winesburg, Ohio meets Fannie Flagg, with an added dash of A Land Remembered. Vignetted stories of colorful characters help bring Toad Springs, Florida (an imaginary little town set somewhere east of Tampa, west of Orlando)to life.
As a transplant in the early 1980s from central, upstate New York to central Florida I can easily see some of these fictitious people in many of the old-Florida characters I have met in real life.
My only complaint was that it had to end. For a fun look at what life must have been life in rural Florida back in the 1930s, I would very much recommend Seashells, Gator Bones, and the Church of Everlasting Liability!

Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.A charming book set in the early 1900,s in Florida. The story centres around the characters of a small town who each narrate a part of their lives, so each chapter is written by a different person. I was a little confused with the relationships between the characters at times though I am willing to take responsibility for this! Overall an enjoyable read.
Tämä arvostelu kirjoitettiin LibraryThingin Varhaisia arvostelijoita varten.I instantly loved the 'voice' of this book, it sets the book in the time era as well as the small Florida town. At first the format of a collection of stories found and recorded was interesting. Then I started feeling a bit lost like I was an elderly relative trying to sort out emails in my inbox from many long lost kin. I kept looking for connection links. I finally decided to give that up, they are there but the stories flow on their own without trying to remember who is related to whom.
It's definitely worth the reading!… (lisätietoja)
