From Publishers Weekly

The three widowed 60-something women who lend "golden girl" power to Medlicott's episodic debut would be very much at home in Jan Karon's Mitford. Amelia, Hannah and Grace all live in a Pennsylvania boardinghouse, unhappily confronting the insults and injuries involved in aging. When Amelia inherits a deteriorating farmhouse in Covington, N.C., the three decide to move in together, gearing up to rehabilitate both the farmhouse and their lives. Although their alternately neglectful and overprotective grown children are disgruntled at their mothers' unconventional new lifestyle, the women find the time to become themselves, enjoying a combination of companionship and independence. Between gardening, cooking and exploring photography, the spunky trio jointly weather many trials and adventures including flood, fire, a claim on their property and romance. Medlicott's penchant for detailing local sights as minutely as a tourist map, coupled with the slow-lane pace, may be too warm and cozy for those accustomed to more action, and events that are surprising to the characters may be mundane to more sophisticated readers. But Medlicott's idea is a winner: women in their twilight years finding alternatives to large group homes or living alone. Solving an all-too-common housing dilemma, the three ladies inspire by forming a community in which they thrive and find new careers and loves, all with dignity and autonomy. (Apr.)

From Library Journal

Like a Grandma Moses painting, this first novel is unrealistic but exudes a good bit of charm. A sixtyish widow inherits an old farmhouse in Covington, NC, and invites two friends to move in. Readers who weather the less believable parts of the story (e.g., the farmhouse restoration is quick, painless, and carefree) are rewarded later when they come to care about the ladies. Although so dominated by their husbands in the past that they hardly know what they want or what they are capable of doing, they learn and grow together. The real world does intrude in the form of a loved one with HIV, a threat to the title of their new home, and a grandson with an alcohol problem. The women grow in self-confidence until one publishes a book, one finds love, and one runs a physically demanding business. The ending is pure fantasy, but readers will enjoy the ride. Medlicott, a senior citizen herself, has self-published three prior works.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A book to curl up and go away for a day, Juil 16 2004
Par janeicher@cox.net (Chandler Arizona) - Voir tous mes commentaires
I have read all the series and can't wait for the next one. I read these books and wish I was living across the road from the farmhouse. I was sad when the farmhouse was ruined but glad they rebuilt and got on with their lives...I love the books, the recipes and the everyday lives of all 3..I think I am Grace.

2.0étoiles sur 5 A New Age "Mitford" Book, Juil 15 2004
Par Un client
Joan Medlicott has taken the same setting (North Carolina Mts) and develops a continuing story of 3 women in their late 60's who make a new home together amongst the "native" NC people.This book & the 2 that follow show adultery, gays, and challenging Christianity in a "positive" light.The 3rd in the series begins to tell about one of the character's "out of body experiences". This author has copied a previous best seller series(Mitford) and put in her "new age philosophies". --it is so obvious what this author has done--and gotten away with it ! Sad!!!

5.0étoiles sur 5 One of my top three picks, Mai 22 2004
Par Un client
Our book club recently became acquainted with this novel, along with two others: McCrae's BARK OF THE DOGWOOD, and a book titled, BIRTH OF VENUS. While I was thinking that these were my top three picks, everyone else in the group obviously thought the same thing, for we decided that these three novels are the best of the best--and we read a lot! Of the three, THE LADIES is our favorite and we plan to visit the other "Covington" novels. Do youself a favor and read these three great books!
