Ellen and the Barber: Library Edition

Rating:
Summary: Three very enjoyable stories
Review: I picked this up recently on a whim and was delighted with it. It is a quick but very satisfying read. Each story has a female lead and an element of romance, but the stories are driven more by character than love. It reminded me of Colleen McCollouh's Ladies of Missalonghi.

Summary: A Pleasant Surprize
Review: Most of the books by O'Rourke in my library are old westerns. I was drawn into the book and read it in one day. Wonderful narration and characters, I felt like I was in the Depression era Midwest.
