The author has real writing ability; I can't stress this strongly enough.  She has what they call: "Turn of phrase."  But the running internal monologue of Maud, the main character, got old after the first half.On the positive side, I liked all the characters, and lots of the vignettes were believable when thinking about small-town life.  But a bunch of vignettes strung together didn't make a workable book for me.  The theme of The Muse lost and The Muse found wasn't strong enough to carry the book.I would be very interested in reading other work by this author, whose talent is not in question.
