Fun, Fluff and Fantasy
The perfect antidote to a depressing, deeply meaningful novel, "The Ladies of Missalonghi" is well-written and lively and just plain fun. It's romantic - but not cloying, a fantasy - but a subtle one. The heroine, Missy, is a plain woman facing a life of tired poverty when, inspired by a novel, she takes charge of her future - with a little help from a librarian who may be more than she appears. Colleen McCullogh, once again, delivers a great story with style!
