Summary: wonderful settings and people
Review: The thing that will strike you first about Trigiani's MILK GLASS MOON is the wonderful settings. Secondly, the characters will jump out at you. Trigiani, along with Chevalier, are two of my favorite authors and both know how to handle their materials. The writing in this novel is just, well, excellent, and the author's plots are wonderfully thought out. This book is a must.Also recommended: McCrae's THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD

Summary: A simple homespun tale of love and family
Review: The third book in the Big Stone Gap Series, life with Ave and Jack Mac continues like a slow sun rising over the mountains. The love and warmth of the people that we have come to know and care for, their trials and tribulations, life and death, it is all here in the Holler. In this book we find Etta to be a blossoming teen with a mind of her own, and mom (Ave) has some hard won lessons to learn. This book spans several years and the road gets rocky at times, even down right hard to swallow, but our characters trudge on to the rewards that lie in wait around the corner. Ave comes to terms with the love, and men in her life and finds balance and peace in doing so. The author left this book open in a way that leaves the reader to believe that another book might be on the way. I will be on the look out for more of this authors talented writing and heartwarming characters. Kelsana 8/7/02
