it was amazing

Have I mentioned that I love Laurie Colwin? The sad thing is that there is only one more of her novels I haven't read yet.

Colwin's writing elevates the domestic fiction genre to literature that smart women will love. Every detail of the setting comforted me while the characters and dialogue exposed conflicts that live in my own heart. Subtle, gorgeous, and ultimately surprising--this book is now one of my all time favorites.

Rebecca I love her food writing but haven't tried her fiction yet. I have Happy All the Time approved on NetGalley...


Kate I adore Happy All the Time. And A Big Storm Knocked It Over. And this one, of course. I would love to see your review if you read one of Colwin's novels. They are terribly not action-oriented, but more about internal conflict. I still can't put them down, though. Happy reading!
