Before I started reading
this book, I was aware it was the sequel to "The Prayers of Agnes
Sparrow." However, I did not realize it was also connected to Joyce
Magnin's "Charlotte Figg Takes Over Paradise." I was quite pleasantly
surprised when she showed up in this book as well.
As in the other two books,
the author combines some of the most unusual characters into an engaging tale.
From "Prayers" we have several returning characters including, of
course, Griselda and her sister, Agnes, Ruth, Mildred, Zeb, Studebaker and
others, as well as newcomers including an injured treasurer hunter, his
strangely detached fiancee and a pilot making an emergency landing. How these
characters interact throughout the story is at times laughable and at other
times, very touching. Ms. Magnin weaves mystery and humor together into a fun,
fresh story.
