Ahhh, the Terminal Sweetness of Terminal Bend

This is one honey of a book.The funny thing is, everyone has a reason to like it. If you're from some slow-poke, out of the way, have a birthday and get your name in the paper kind of town, you can read this book and relate, and see where you'd fit into this teeny world of love and prejudice and wisdom. But if you're not, if you're in some gangling Gotham of urbanity, reading Terminal Bend will bring you the slowness, the patience of life when people knew who they were, and where they belonged, and the answer was usually the front porch, passing the time with friends.It isn't a sappy book, however. The fictional characters of Terminal Bend, Alabama don't just sit around making pies for each other. Some of them are vicious, some of them have secret vendettas, and some of them come to terrible ends. This is a charming, Southern book about real life.
