"Aunt Cynthy Dallett" is about two friends to go to visit an elderly friend living in the mountains.
"The Only Rose" is a story about a woman who can't decide which of her three husbands' graves to place a special rose on.
"The Hilton's Holiday" is about a father who takes his two little girls for a special trip into town.
"Martha's Lady" is about a friendship that develops between a gauche young maid and a beautiful young lady.
When described like that, the stories don't sound like much. But taken all together, they present a view of a simpler, quieter kind of life, where visitors are something to be celebrated, where a letter is a real treat, where a visit into town is a big event. I got this one on audiotape, and that brought a new element to the story, as it became more storytelling, rather than just a reading. The pacing, the accents, the voices, all combined to make me really feel as if I were enjoying a quiet trip to the past. ( )
