Title: Avid Alabama Reader
Product review: This is not one of Ms Deveraux' better works. The story line was good and if the heroine had overcome obstacles herself instead of having all her difficulties eliminated for her, as if fairy godmother waved a wand, it would have been a better story. If Ms Deveraux' purpose was to lay a basis for future sequels, she did a good job of giving us thumbnail characterizations. The book left me wanting to know the stories of several of the other characters. My favorite Deveraux book is Knight in Shining Armor and that heroine was also showered with fortuitous circumstances. The difference between the two books is that in Knight, we have already suspended our beliefs and accepted the time travel so it isn't such a leap to accept additional beneficence. But the modern setting of Mulberry Tree requires us to leap back and forth between reality and fantasy too often. I look forward to reading more from Ms Deveraux but I suggest she decide in which venue she writes.
