This
is the third in the Rejected Writers series. It's as funny as the
others. I don't know how Kelman keeps creating such great plots with
warmth and humor propelled by crazy characters.
In
this slice of small town life on an island in the Pacific Northwest,
the ladies plan a wedding. Things get pretty crazy when Doris thinks
she can make all the arrangements for Flora, the soft spoken bride.
There is one laugh out loud scene after another.
The
novel also has its serious side when a misunderstanding derails the
romantic relationship. There are some good lessons about truth and
honesty and forgiveness woven into the plot. The strong friendship
bond these women have forged is very inspiring.
All
the elements of a great novel are here. The characters are crazy
funny, like Ruby-Skye, the eccentric hippie in her 70s. The plot is
wonderful. You'll revel in how the ladies help relationships heal,
even while you're laughing at the mess they make on the way. The
location is superb, that special island of which I'm a native and
call home.
Get
ready to laugh until the tears flow as you read this fun and warm
look at life in a small island town. I highly recommend this novel to
readers who enjoy a good laugh and appreciate a heart warming story
woven through out.
You
can read my reviews of the earlier books in the series: The Rejected Writers' Book Club and The Rejected Writers Take the Stage.
My
rating: 5/5 stars.
