The Moonflower Vine by Jetta Carleton
5.0
2008: I re-read this wonderful book earlier this year, but first read it whenever it appeared as part of a Reader's Digest condensed book volume in the 1960s. Let's just say that between my young age (ca 11) and the "condensation," it was a very different book from the one I recently re-read!
Wonderful characters, absorbing plotlines & excellent writing. I always thought it a shame that Ms. Carleton never wrote another novel, but then this one is almost perfect.
2022: Another re-read but itʻs still such a great book. Highly recommended.
Have now learned that the ms of her second book was found after her death and has been published as Clair de Lune. Will be reading it soon.
