These are three of the funniest and warmest books our club have read, we all loved the books and continue to recommend them to friends and family. The author captures life at that time so well you feel you are there experiencing it with the characters - who are so funny you laugh out loud reading the books. Right from the first chapter you are hooked. He has written a fourth book telling the Agnes' story from her childhood, well worth the read as well. Loved these books!!!
