This book did not really appeal to me. I found it very hard to follow, and depressing. It was very well-written and edited, but I just could not get into the story.

4 Stars

Harriet arrives with her car loaded down and her cats to claim her inheritance from her Aunt Esther.

Gregg and Magda, Harriet’s cousin, own the land on which Harriet’s bus sits. Magda and Harriet have a love/hate relationship. Rivals as children and always thrown together, they vied for everything.

We learn about their relationship with Scrubbs. Friends with both girls, he liked Magda better and this upset Harriet. We learn about Magda’s relationship with Gregg and why she married the man she now cannot stand.

This book is about the relationship between the two women, including their history with all its warts.

This is a very well written book with memorable characters. Their emotions are drawn quite well and I liked Harriet.

I am sending many thanks to Netgalley and Endeavour Press for forwarding to me a copy of this delightful and interesting book to read.
