Summary: Delightful!
Review: Emily von Plotz writes an advice to the lovelorn column in San Francisco. She chances to meet "Texas Lonesome," an unpolished but well-meaning fellow who wants to learn about proper decorum so as to meet a lady to marry and share his wealth with. Emily, of course, decides that she would be the perfect lady... but her well-meaning eccentric reletives (and their dachshunds) always seem to get in the way.TEXAS LONESOME is absolutely delightful! I loved the dogs ;) I loved the plot twists, the ending escapades, the glimpses of San Francisco, and they way we were reminded that this was 1895--all the little improprities that a reader in 1995 wouldn't think of, like *gasp* sharing the same piece of furniture! the secondary characters were hilarious, and I'd love to see Thomas, the hero's best friend, get a book of his own. There were lots of LOL [laugh out loud] parts in this book, and lots of bits I had to read to my husband--a sure sign of either a very funny or very horrid book; this is definitely funny and not at all horrid. Thanks, Alice!
