At Home in Covington (Ladies of Covington)
Grace, Hannah, and Amelia are back in the fifth installment of the Covington series:The Ladies of Covington Send Their Love(2000),The Gardens of Covington(2001),From the Heart of Covington(2002),The Spirit of Covington[BKL S 1 03]. These three open-minded older ladies have a strong following, and readers who avidly await their newest trials and successes will not be disappointed. Included are all the small soap-opera traumas readers expect. Grace's son's partner dies from AIDS. Hannah is haunted by her past and has a spiritual revelation. Amelia leaves for a photography workshop in Maine. Hannah and Amelia continue to bicker, and Grace continues to battle diabetes. At times the friends seem estranged, but, as in the previous books, all ends well and their friendships remain strong. The truth is, the writing is stilted and the plot underdeveloped, but readers are so enamored with the world of Covinginton they simply do not care because they find Medlicott's books cozy and comforting.Neal WyattCopyright © American Library Association.
