This book is a hard one for me to rate. There were parts that I loved and parts that really annoyed me. My major issue, I suppose, was that I really did not like the main character. I also was enraged by the actions of the "small town" people, even though they were, no doubt, very true to life. Loved the ending. No profanity or sexual conduct. Some unexpected twists and turns, but also a host of characters that were just plain unlikable. Good reminder that all miracles are truly the work of God alone. This is no ordinary tale of two spinster sisters. Agnes has been fed way too much - both by her sister and the townspeople - to the point she needs help caring for her basic hygiene needs. Agnes dies, however, have a gift. The townspeople come to her home to ask for prayers, most of Agnes' prayers are answered. I don't want to spoil the story for you, but things take a turn for the worse when a stranger comes to town. This is the first book in the series, the four I've read are good, I hope a new one will be out soon.
What do You think about Prayers Of Agnes Sparrow (2009)?
This was terrific. I laughed and cried. It's about the good and bad of small town life.

A much touted book but one I didn't enjoy. Good characterization, however.
—Tiara
This was so boring and slow that I couldn't even finish it.
