Dutch Uncle

I was captivated by this book before I completed the 3rd page. The characters are absolutely alive! This story is consistent, and easy to follow. I appreciate the writing style, Marilyn Durham gives you just enough detail to allow for a visual impression to form, without offering more information than is needed. I found this book to be enjoyable, light reading. ....... ...... .... I had a feeling I would connect with the author after reading the dedication: For my grandmother, who always liked a good clean story but mostly for my mother, who doesn't .... ..... ..... P.S. I am thrilled to have picked up a hard bound copy at a library book sale! (I didn't know what a reasure I had purchased)

I liked the characters, Jake, Carrie and Paco, even Clem & Delia, so much that when I finished the book I immediately started in from the beginning again. They were people I knew and didn't want to leave yet
