A Table by the Window

You may be starting to notice I like Women's Fiction. I love any character who starts a restaurant; I'm totally into heritage houses and moving to the sticks; I like misfits--so let's just say it was my kinda story. If you do too, this probably won't disappoint--plus it has a nice little mystery and risk of death to spice things up. The only thing I thought was kinda of funny was that the main character kept referring to how her sense of humor kept her going, helped her survive, etc--and I just couldn't for the life of me see what on earth she was talking about. If anything, I found her a little uptight and overly concerned about appearances and what other people thought about her and/or the company she kept. She wasn't funny . . . show more which, if you think about it, is hilarious! :D

p.s. "I found her a little uptight and overly concerned about appearances and what other people thought about her and/or the company she kept."--not in a horrible way, in a kind of endearing, realistic way. show less

This book was a quick read. A fairly quaint plot - estranged grandparent leaves an inheritance which includes a house to a 25 yr old from California. Race only touched on in one brief episode. Having lived in MS race is huge since MS is practically 75% black at least. All in all a Christian book in not so subtle ways that really did not have a definitive theme other than if you murder you get caught. And family is more important than anything. ...but we all know that!
