Title: Farm wives as I remember them ...
Review: My Mom and the other "hired men's wives" never solved a murder mystery (that I know of) but this book brought back the cameraderie I sensed among them during my childhood. "You can choose your friends but you can't choose your relatives," but the relative isolation of farm women made it a good idea to be on good terms with everybody in the neighborhood. The little gossipy asides - not necessarily "catty" - made it realistic : no Jerry Springer - just an honest interest in the others' lives because of the all-too-human connection. All the sewing details just made it more authentic ! A quiet little gem of a book.
