Customer Reviews of Bed & Breakfast
Everyday People, Christmas Family Friction in Nostalgic B+B The theme Lois Battle addresses in her nostalgic southern Bed and Breakfast is domestic discord. The setting is Christmas, a time all the rest of the world seems to be enjoying a season of hope, peace, love and family togetherness.
Following a decade of separation, a widowed mother of three grown daughters is prompted to plan a special Christmas reunion after witnessing a friend's close encounter with death.
The ensuing friction and strife that occur stem from old established patterns of sibling rivalry, jealousy, and unforgiven past transgressions. The myth of a happy family reunion Josie has dared to dream is shattered. The manner in which the author neatly ties together her themes and resolves most of the conflicts to our satisfaction, even managing to end the novel on a happy romantic note, makes this book an enjoyable read to curl up with. The book has many well developed believable characters, and explores many familiar problems friends, families , and couples experience in real life. .
A book you will keep on your shelf
There is always the book that you can't discard even when you clean off the shelves to make room for new books. This is one of those books because you will always remember it as a pleasant experience-- you will truly enjoy this one!
Not great but a good and a true book
Too many characters in too short a book leave the reader wishing for more depth -- the book jumps from mother Josie to the two older daughters, Cam and Lila, and never focuses on third daughter Evie at all -- but the story rings TRUE. As an Army brat (I even spent a good part of the summer of 1963 in Beaufort, SC, where the story is set), I can hear the truth in every line of dialogue between Josie and her war-hero husband, Bear. It's much more a story of a military family than it is of a Southern family, for all of the local color, but it's well worth a first, second, or even third read.
