I picked this up at a library sale thinking it would be good for swapping or bookcrossing. Well, the time has come...Had to make room for 2 that I picked from the Never Been Boxed book box. I haven't read it but it looks pretty good. Hope someone enjoys!
From trekwoman's never been boxed book box. Title sounded so familiar, so I checked and checked...nope - don't think I've ever read it before!
trekwoman's bookbox; Ave Maria - a 35yo spinster in town & daughter of an Italian immigrant, and running Mulligan's pharmacy, her late father's enterprise figures she will never marry. Eccentric town folk, and a letter from her mother that reveals she's not who she thinks. Two marriage proposals later, she's running for Italy to find out more about her mother's family, before she can figure out where she belongs in the scheme of things. Lots of folksy dialect and small town stories to keep the book moving along.
This will move along in the "T" author bookbox.
