About this title

Review:

"I absolutely loved this book! What a joy to read! Miss Julia is one of the most delightful characters to come along in years. Ann B. Ross has created what is sure to become a classic Southern comic novel. Hooray for "Miss Julia, " I could not have liked it more."-- Fannie Flagg"A witty tale...replete with charm...it is impossible not to like this book."-- Ft. Worth "Morning Star-Telegram""Readers and writers often say the 'tone is everything, ' and this is especially true of..."Miss Julia Speaks Her Mind."..This charming new novel employs traditional Southern humor, tonal variety, and psychological truth."-- Raleigh "News & Observer""[A] romp of a book...with a distinctly Southern flavor and a good dose of unexpected humor and sarcasm."-- Santa Rosa "Press Democrat""A charming comedy of manners"-- Charlotte "Observer""[A] delightful yarn that's light enough to entertain, but deep enough to leave a lasting impression on the reader."-- Richmond "Times-Dispatch""Good-natured entertainment, done with a sharp eye for the details of small-town southern life and domestic melodrama."-- "Kirkus Reviews""Along with homespun appeal, the novel offers an interesting take on gender, race and family in the South; it's fast-paced and funny"-- "Publishers Weekly""Entertaining...eminently suitable for Jan Karon fans."-- "Booklist"
