Publisher's Weekly-Rezension
Dalby (Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly) rolls out his trademark Southern charm in his third foray into the Mississippi Delta town of Second Creek. More than half a century after they first meet and fall in love, Mayor Hale Dunbar Jr. (Mr. Choppy to the townsfolk) and his Chicago fiancee, wealthy widow Gaylie Girl Lyons, are ready to marry. Neither are spring chickens, but that's the least of their problems. The mayor's worried over a possible closing of the catfish processing plant, and Gaylie Girl's grown children are concerned about their inheritance. Their disapproval puts a damper on the couple's joy, but when the skeptical offspring visit Second Creek, Hale and Gaylie Girl's friends, the Nitwitts, plan a visit fit for royalty. Will Hale and the Nitwitts win the kids over? And how will Gaylie Girl, with her mansion in Chicago, feel about living in Hale's cramped bungalow? Naturally, it all works out, as things tend to do in the whimsical little town where everyone is happy-not just ever after-but pretty much 24/7. (Aug.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
Booklist-Rezension
After more than 50 years, Mayor Hale Mr. Choppy Dunbar has finally convinced the love of his life, Gaylie Girl Lyons, to marry him in a small, intimate Labor Day ceremony. And what seems like the entire town of Second Creek, Mississippi, has pitched in to try and convince her wealthy and spoiled Chicago-based children to bless their union. The Nitwitts have welcomed Gaylie and another newcomer, piano instructor Euterpe Simon, into their group as they struggle with Wittsie's advancing Alzheimer's; Mayor Dunbar, for his part, must juggle his civic responsibilities with his newly absorbing personal life. Dalby's third installment of the anticipated four-part southern series (Waltzing at the Piggly Wiggly, 2006; Kissing Babies at the Piggly Wiggly, 2007) is a leisurely exploration of life and love in the golden years, centered around the quirks and almost-supernatural prescience of the small Delta town and its compact with local residents to enhance their lives.--Welch, Lynne Copyright 2009 Booklist
