Good Night, Mr. Wodehouse por Faith Sullivan

I wanted to like this one more than I did. It was oddly shallow despite some big issues (domestic violence, shell shock, adultery...), and it read as a series of anecdotes rather than an actual novel that hung together. It provides a portrait of a small Minnesota town in the first half of the 20th century, mostly through the eyes of a young (at the start) widow and mother. I wish there had been more depth, but it was a pleasant enough read.

Good night, Mr. Wodehouse por Faith Sullivan

Sweet story about small town America during the various war years. Characters are well drawn and events pull the reader along, but one gets the feeling the author is just filling in time until the main character dies- the book could have ended earlier with no great loss.

Basic plot is about a hard-done-by but sweet woman who is just ordinary but strong of spirit, able to handle the various hardships of life with recourse to reading PG Wodehouse stories.

There are mysteries that aren’t resolved in the story (who is writing the notes?) and some things are only explained very late on. This leaves the main character really quite a shell of a person. We want to see inside her more.

Pleasant read but low residue, though Hilly is a character that breaks your heart.… (mais)

What a Woman Must Do por Faith Sullivan

3.5 stars. I enjoy Faith Sullivan's stories about Harvester. This one was a bit rumbly and I sometimes had trouble figuring out what was past and what was present but it was nice getting to know the characters.

The Cape Ann (Contemporary American Fiction) por Faith Sullivan

Read a long time ago but never forgot the kitchen described in the book, especially the waste bucket under the sink. Author seemed impressed when I told her it was an image that has stuck with me forever. Sullivan is a fantastic writer.
