This is one of those books I'd like to give a 3.5It is, as the book jacket indicates, a cross between Jan Karon's "Mitford" series and Garrison Keillor's "Lake Woebegone" tales - a genre I've tentatively decided to call "Nostalic Pastoral Fiction," with "Pastoral" used in its older sense rather t...
