Dorothea Benton Frank writes highly addictive tales of life's
conundrums with hilarity and heat. Meet Miriam Elizabeth Swanson,
in a full-blown snit, buoyed by a fabulous cast that runs the gamut
from insufferable to wonderful. First is the arrival of Liz Harper,
Miriam's tenant from Birmingham, who sets a new cycle in motion.
Her other tenant, Kevin, stalwart companion with more style than
Cary Grant, shakes Miriam out of her fog to see which battles are
worth the fight. Then there's Miriam's estranged son, who announces
he's marrying a Jamaican woman. And what about her ex-husband,
Charles, and that sordid lingerie model of his? Finally, you'll
laugh and cry when Miriam meets a man named Harrison who changes
her into a gal named Mellie.
Miriam spins out from the revolving door of her postured life as
a Manhattan quasi-socialite while she thirsts, no, "starves" for
recognition. It takes a few spins, dips, and one spectacular fall
until Miriam gets her head on straight. Then in a whoosh she's off
to the enchanted and mysterious land of Sullivans Island, deep in
the Lowcountry of South Carolina.
Told straight from the heart in Frank's vivid, highly
entertaining style, "The Land of Mango Sunsets" just might be her
finest work to date. If you decide to read this book, don't make
plans to do anything else for a while.
