Delightful book to read on a couple of rainy days. I couldn't agree more about the comfort of books, and a nice chair ro read them in. Lovely town, great characters. What I guess was so nice about the book was that it was a simple day to day story about a small town, the people in it and how people and world events affected them over the years. I loved the cover photo on the book--that's me sans the footpillow:)
