Pawleys Island
by Dorothea Benton Frank
Buy book: $14.96

The Lowcountry comes back to life with this brand-new novel from the "New York Times" bestselling author of "Shem Creek." When Becca Sims wanders into the beautiful seaside Gallery Valentine, she has no idea her life is about to be transformed.

Looks to be a great southern book - which I love - and the writing pulls me right in (having read a long excerpt on my library site) - alas, the book is out, but may get it on audio though I do love the book in my hands -

I have read this and encourage you to actually buy the book. I really enjoyed it.

I heard "Shem Creek" on audio and then "Pawley's Island" (read by the author). I enjoyed both very much. Now I am looking forward to reading her fiction bestseller, "Full of Grace".

Light and breezie just like a summer night. I enjoyed the first read and will continue to read it this week. But...will probably save this one for the beach.

I have spent a fair amount of time in the South Carolina low country over the past few years. I love it and this book. I have
enjoyed her work before and will surely finish this one.

As a frequent poster at this forum, I wanted to let you all know that the post just above this one is from another Ann. Who woulda thought there was another one out there? Since I'm posting I might as well put in my two cents worth about the book. I read the author's first offering some time ago (Sullivan's Island) and found it to be a light and pleasant read. From what I can determine about this current selection and her other works, they are somewhat formulaic and repetitive. So, with an ever growing stack of Must reads", I'll be passing this week.

Am reading the previous book of hers and thoroughly enjoying - by then this current book will hopefully be available for me - lots of good life lessons in the book I'm reading - and a really good read as well -

Too cutesy

i have spent many a childhood vacation roaming the lowcountry of south carolina ...these books only deepen my love .
