This is one clever story,

This review is from: Deep in the Shade of Paradise: A Novel (Hardcover)
I can honestly say that I have never read anything quite like Deep in The Shade of Paradise! It's the story of a large quirky Southern family as they gather together for a wedding, that and so much more. There is so much going on in this tale that it's almost impossible to describe it in few words. The characters are beyond unique, each one a treasure, and with names like you've never heard. The author keeps jumping into the narrative with his running commentary which you would think would become annoying after awhile, but only adds to the charm and hilarity of the story. This novel is so clever and imaginative that I found myself smiling all the way through. It would be impossible to give this any less than 5 stars!

Spectacular,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deep in the Shade of Paradise: A Novel (Hardcover)
How Dufresne can accomplish so much in the space of so few pages is beyone me. THIS should be the book you BUY and read this year. BUY it, because, I promise, you'll want to read it again and again. It affected me as THE SHIPPING NEWS did, with characters so memorable and plot so rich and believable, that I was not content to read it only once.

DEEP IN THE SHADE OF PARADISE,
By cynthia wondolowski (paxton, ma United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deep in the Shade of Paradise: A Novel (Hardcover)
THIS IS BY FAR THE MOST MOVING, LAUGH OUT LOUD BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. I FELL IN LOVE WITH THESE QUIRKY CHARACTERS. THEY BECAME A PART OF MY LIFE. IT'S HARD TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN AND YET I DIDN'T WANT THE STORY TO END. I STILL THINK ABOUT BOUDOU, EARLENE, ADLAI AND MIRANDA (TO NAME A FEW.) AND WONDER WHAT THEY ARE DOING TODAY. I MISS ROYCE AND BENNING. BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. DUFRESNE LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE.
