Miss Lavinia is not to be missed

Another entertaining novel penned by Dorothea Benton Frank. The flavor of the Southern atmosphere is almost tangible......you can taste, smell, feel and see it all. The development of the characters is fast paced and memorable it is almost difficult to pick one personality over another with the exception of Miss Lavinia who is the most unforgetable, and spicy, character, to come along in quite some time. It was a book that I hated to put down and it most definitely was a book I hated to see end.

Plantation

An EXCELLENT book. My first book by Dorothea Benton Frank, I was sad when this book came to an end....

Kind of like Lay's potato chips!

You won't be able to stop at just one! This book gets you involved from page one and at the end, you're just plain sorry it's over! I want to write to Ms. Frank and say "more, more, please! I'm not done with these folks yet!" I enjoy Anne Rivers Siddons books ... if you like that style you'll love Plantation. And like me, will be looking for more of Ms. Frank's work!

My First Book By D. Frank

I began reading this and didn't stop until I was finished. Now, this is a thick book but I was so inthralled by the family's story that it was wonderful to read. I chose this book as I like Pat Conroy and the books about Plantations and beach living. If you have been to Hilton Head, Charleston or any of the low county areas, you will enjoy reading Plantation.

Suprisingly Engrossing and Entertaining

This was my first introduction to Dorothea Benton Frank, but it won't be the last book I purchase from her. This is an endearing and charming tale about a family that is ultimately brought together through a very difficult time. Ms. Frank has the ability to weave humor, folklore, history, and just plan fun throughout the story. I truly found this book to be amazing! One of my favorite authors is Pat Conroy. I have read all of his books. Ms. Frank seems to share his ability to tell a story and keep his/her audience totally engrossed and comitted to the read. There are funny, sad, intelligent, nasty, good, sweet, innocent, and centered characters in this book. Ms. Frank has a marvelous ability to bring each character to life and to make the reader feel that this is either someone already known to them or someone you would love to know. I can't say enough about the beautiful writing that is in this book. I actually cried and am not one to do that freely. So that surprised me a lot. It was worth it. A great author and a great read!
