5.0 out of 5 stars Y'all Are Going to Love This, October 7, 2006

By

This review is from: Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly (Hardcover)

A lovable book about the eccentric south. Come to Second Creek with me and party with the Nittwits (a group of women resembling the ya yas and the Red Hat Society)You'll love them all. It is all about respecting the past and learning to love people in the package they come in. After all, these people are just like you and me......well, me anyway, being from the small town south myself. You'll especially love the Floozie Beauty Queen Pageant, and I have to say if it could happen anywhere, it would happen here. You'll be sad to leave Second Creek when you finish this book and wish you could go there on vacation. But it has a happy ending because I know there must be more of these to follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Mitford and Gulley fans, August 21, 2006

By 

Lesa Holstine (Glendale, AZ) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly (Hardcover)

No, it doesn't have the religious aspects of Jan Karon's Mitford series or Philip Gulley's books, but it has the wonderful small-town life with eccentric, lovable characters. This is a story filled with love - love of a group of people for their town and its history, love for each other, and yearning for a secret, lost love. It's all wrapped up in a fun story of a group of widows coming together to save their local grocery store by offering ballroom dancing. I'm looking forward to more stories of the quirky people of Second Creek, Mississippi.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Story For Women but Written By A Man, February 18, 2007

By 

Whitney Matthews (Etowah, North Carolina United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly (Hardcover)

From the first page it is evident that the dialogue in this book is written by a man. Dalby weaves an interesting story but does not have an ear for the way women talk. Nevertheless I have given it 5 stars because it meets my criteria for fun reads. Southern Influence. Interesting/Fun Characters. Fairly High Moral Standards. Limited Graphic Sex or Violence. I wouldn't be ashamed for my mother-in-law to catch me reading it.
