From the Back Cover
Franny Spellman, quiltmaker and writer, has hit the road. Now, if only she knew where she was going, her long, strange trip might start to make sense. But Franny never does things the easy way. This time she's looking for a husband, while traveling from Massachusetts to New Jersey to the California coast, sorting through the free spirits and crazy men she meets along the way.
Though her life is often a struggle, Franny is a wry, charming, and sometimes acerbic observer of her own life. Her smart musings are irresistible, and it doesn't take long before we realize we have found a delightful new voice in Sarah Hafner's novel.
The Elements of Style is a beautifully written and intimate novel. It opens the life of an artist to the world, and the result is a sometimes sad, sometimes witty, but always deeply touching story about love.
