Books: Guaranteed laughter and tears
Pick of the week, 17 September 2006:

" From the author of the best-selling hit Big Stone Gap comes another heart-warming melodrama set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and the return of Ave Maria Mulligan MacChesney and her family.
Fans of the Big Stone Gap trilogy will welcome back an entertaining cast of familiar characters including Theodore Tipton, Iva Lou Makin, Fleeta Mullins, and Pearl Grimes, as well as Pete Rutledge, Jack Mac's unspoken rival for the heart of Ave Maria.

In this instalment, we find Ave Maria's daughter, Etta, barely 18, married and living in Italy, while she has hardly noticed that the health of her husband, the gorgeous and ever-dependable Jack Mac, is failing.

Meanwhile, several friendships she has enjoyed forever are threatened.

It's classic Trigiani - warm, witty and clever, with enough surprises to keep the pace flowing. Trigiani has the ability to have you laughing at one moment and reaching for the hankies the next. Fans should not be disappointed."
— Belfast Telegraph
