Reading this one makes me really interested in finding out more about the lives of Elner, Norma, and Macky.<BR/><BR/>*Maggie - I'll always love Southern Literature--but to be fair this was only "half" southern lit as it mostly takes place in New York. Thanks for hosting a great challenge!!<BR/><BR/>*Stephanie - I did find the story about Dena's mother really interesting especially because I haven't heard a whole lot about "passing". But it was sudden! :)Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-89349478086806521382008-07-14T18:36:00.000-05:002008-07-14T18:36:00.000-05:00I read this one a few years ago.

Definitely not what I was expecting, or anything that I'd even thought of, but it's an interesting peek into a part of the past I didn't know much about.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263897351215100419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-63045147099075979872008-07-14T01:25:00.000-05:002008-07-14T01:25:00.000-05:00Huh?

It's funny because Norma had anxiety/panic attacks in Can't Wait...I wonder if there is a reason for 2 main female characters to have similar issues?Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048221087572023485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-13623178545176854182008-07-13T21:58:00.000-05:002008-07-13T21:58:00.000-05:00*Dar - I think with any author that has published ...*Dar - I think with any author that has published a lot of books there will be one that just won't be as good--and hopefully this is it. I still liked it! I just didn't close the book thinking it was great. Daisy Fay is great, though (I thought anyway!).<BR/><BR/>*Joyce - I read Fried Green Tomatoes so long ago that I can barely remember it! I'll have to revisit it one day and keep my eye out for the others. I think part of the reason why this book didn't do it for me like the others is because it was set mostly in NY--I think Flagg does best with her southern characters.<BR/><BR/>*Nicola - I'd really recommed Daisy Fay--a really delightful read. By the way, for the past couple of months when I click on your profile your blog isn't there!! I've been trying to find you and just noticed today that your blog is appearing today. If you didn't do this on purpose it might be something for you to check out...<BR/><BR/>*Corinne - THANK YOU!! That makes my entire day. :)<BR/><BR/>*Lit Feline - I really liked Daisy Fay.

I keep meaning to read more by her. I'm sorry this didn't quite live up to your expectations. I will have to add Daisy May and Miracle Man to my wish list.

I have read several of her books, but have not read Daisy May and the Miracle Man yet. <BR/><BR/> If you like the characters Aunt Elner, Norma and Macky Characters, I think you really like "Standing in a Rainbow" and "Can't Wait to get to Heaven", whick I liked better than "Welcome to the World.." and don't forget to read "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe"- It was better than the movie, but they usually are.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07242749790106142868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922354827535398877.post-31601287835309413642008-07-13T14:34:00.000-05:002008-07-13T14:34:00.000-05:00Thanks for the review Trish.

I've only read one of hers-Redbird Christmas which I loved and had wanted to read more. I'm going to make that Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man after your comments on it.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387389557243960084noreply@blogger.com
