Wonderful!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The third novel about the bunch of excentric characters living in the fictional, but oh-so-real, Tula Springs, Louisiana. Funny and sad. And very intelligent. Wonderfully written. "Mr. Wilcox has real comic genius. He is a writer to make us all feel hopeful" said Anne Tyler.
Southern Comfort
