AN ENTERTAINING READ!!!,, Jun 29 2006
This review is from: Baker Towers (Hardcover)
"The mines were not named for Bakerton; Bakerton was made for the mines; an important distinction. It explains the order of things."
This is a comfortable read. After reading Mrs. Kimble and loving it, I just had to get this reasonably new book in my hands.
In the small mining town in Pennsylvania, we meet the Novaks a poor family struggling to made ends meet at an inconvenient time; having just lost their beloved Polish dad, and with World War 11 1ooming in the background. This household with characters of so many different colours, consist of Rose Novak a pure Italian; Dorothy who flees to Washington to work there, Joyce, the mainstay of the family, George, the brother who went off and married a snotty wife, daughter of a store-owner. Sandy the elusive brother who remains a mystery to us all, and finally Lucy whom everyone thought of as the beautiful one.
An ideal book for young women!!! A book you will love!!!
