Acerca de esta escucha
Once again, the Widows of Butternut Creek are determined to find a bride for Pastor Adam. This time, their candidate is as gun shy as the pastor! A traumatic experience as a college freshman has left Gussie Milton "once bitten, twice shy." Although she'd like a relationship, she's frightened, so she's thrown herself into caring for her aging parents, her photography business, and her church.
In the eyes of Miss Birdie and her friend Mercedes, aka "the Widows," Gussie would make their young pastor the perfect wife. And though the attraction proves mutual, first Gussie's past and then the pastor's hopes for the future threaten to keep them apart. Can the Widows' meddling be the catalyst that changes the couple's lives forever?

It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's 60 years old.

At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly.

Folksy and fresh, endearing and affecting, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe is the now-classic novel of two women in the 1980s; of gray-headed Mrs. Threadgoode telling her life story to Evelyn, who is in the sad slump of middle age. The tale she tells is also of two women - of the irrepressibly daredevilish tomboy Idgie and her friend Rut - -who back in the thirties ran a little place in Whistle Stop, Alabama, a Southern kind of Cafe Wobegon offering good barbecue and good coffee and all kinds of love and laughter, even an occasional murder.

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

Laid off from her department store job, Carmen has perilously little cash and few options. The prospect of spending Christmas with her perfect sister Sofia, in Sofia’s perfect house with her perfect children and her perfectly ordered yuppie life, does not appeal. Frankly, Sofia doesn’t exactly want her prickly sister Carmen there, either. But Sofia has yet another baby on the way, a mother desperate to see her daughters get along, and a client who needs help revitalizing his shabby old bookshop. So Carmen moves in and takes the job.

Not my cup of tea
The writing is simple and storytellerish. Not a complex plot. Did not care for the reader who had to do female voices for the most part (reader is a man).

Not Enjoyable
Would you try another book from Jane Myers Perrine and/or Chris Sorensen?
No, I would not. This was not a well-written story and the narrator made it even worse.
What was most disappointing about Jane Myers Perrine’s story?
This book seems to want to be like the Mitford series. Small town preacher (with an unruly dog) takes in kids who need a home. There are quirky small town residents and a slowly evolving love story. The characters are not well developed. I don't believe that anyone would act the way they act or talk the way they talk. The book's formula was: introduce a problem and then solve it so quickly a person could get whiplash while listening. Throw in a few silly, slapstick events (i.e. the Christmas tree scene) and call it good.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Chris Sorensen?
No idea. I am sure that the best narrator in the world cannot save a flimsily written book.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Irritation. I could NOT wait to finish it. And when I did, I felt a great sense of relief.
Any additional comments?
I cannot recommend this book.
