About this title

Review:

Praise for Lorna Landvik

Oh My Stars

"Landvik is a national treasure whose writing packs a folksy, storytelling punch. . . . The personalities that populate the pages of Depression-era Oh My Stars feel . . . like fast friends. . . . And oh my stars but how [these] pages do fly by!"
-Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Utterly charming."
-Cleveland Plain Dealer

Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons

"Highly entertaining . . . almost as hard to put down [as] Mary McCarthy's The Group."
-The Seattle Times

"It is impossible not to get caught up in the lives of the book group members. . . . Landvik's gift lies in bringing these familiar women to life with insight and humor."
-The Denver Post

Welcome to the Great Mysterious

"Funny, heartwarming . . . admirably captures the ups and downs of a small town from the humorous perspective of a big-city star."
-Publishers Weekly

"Geneva is a lovable star who grows in surprising ways."
-The Orlando Sentinel
