Deeply interesting if very much mass-market oral history of two very interesting women, who lived through a whole lot. This feels like a very sparse review, but I'm tired and can't think of a better; anyway, if the oral history memoirs of two black sisters who were born around 1890, became educated...
The sequel to Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women's Literary Society and I enjoyed every page of it. It wasn't quite as solid as the first book, but this was a trip back home for me and I'm sure that went a long way towards filling in any gaps. The books don't have to be read in order; ...
I started to write this one last night and had to stop because I just wasn't sure what to say. I genuinely enjoyed this book; it was lovely, and funny and extraordinarily accurate for its place and time. But would others enjoy it as much as I did? I don't know. I know a huge part of why I enjoy...
This is the sequel to Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Women's Literary Society which I haven't read (yet), but you need not read the first book to enjoy this one.

I really thought this was going to be a little bit more humorous that what it actually was. While it did have some humor towards the middle of the book, I still enjoyed this book very much. There were a lot of secrets going on, a LOT of quirky characters, revenge on an ex (loved it!!), book club mee...

When northerner Jackie Hart blows into a small southern town circa 1962, the literary society she creates draws together a group of people who are, like Jackie, misfits. Amy Hill Heart's novel depicts not just the prejudice and bigotry that each of the members face...
I enjoyed this book. It was fun. I laughed. I cringed. Jackie and her family move to Naples, Florida from Boston. She is a fish out of water. She also creates the Collier County Women's Literary Society. The members are the outcasts of the community but they create friendships that are lasting and s...
A fun, light journey through being different in the south, this book takes a breezy look at life, literature, civil rights issues, feminism, and class struggles in the 50s. This book may serve as a jumping off point for some, and could be very appropriate for a not-so-serious book club. The characte...
