No Matter What Life Throws at Them, the Grace Sisters Always Have Each Other

The four Grace sisters--Liz, Sal, Tilly, and Addie--love their quiet life in the country village of Chevis Green.

They truly are the happiest of families.

An Earlier Jan Karon

OK--first of all you have to understand that I love this woman's writing and get very upset whenever I think that all of her stuff is now out of print and selling for outrageous prices from "used" bookstores. But--there are still Public Libraries and it is from there that I found this gem. If you love "Midford" then you will probably like these books also. They are based on the same principle--small time life of people that all of us recognize as our neighbors living their ordinary lives and having sometimes brilliant conversations along the way (check out the parson's response to someone who hopes he is "open-minded" for some great comebacks to those type people). It is set in WWII England so there may be some people who don't understand the concept of "rationing sugar" or sending young men off to the wars, but you can get around that quite easily. While this books does not quite come up to the quality of "Miss Buncle" and "Miss Buncle Married" it is still a great piece of fiction that you don't have to "think" through.
