IndieProse Review |
||
|
The Two Sisters’ Cafe is reminiscent of Madeline L’Engle. The prose is beautifully written and the story contains fantastic elements that would be right at home in one of L’Engle’s books.
Eulo & Macy transport you to rural 1950’s Kentucky and do a lovely job of creating a homey, welcoming cafe across from the bus stop. Lifelike characters step out of the farms and shops in need of help and sisters Vannie and Alma May have a power over them that is one part charm, two parts magic.
The sisters live in past, present, and future all at once and spend their days helping the townspeople revisit choices poorly made in their past. The story meanders at times as the sisters work to help the daughter of the town drunk blossom into a young woman. The Two Sisters Cafe is highly recommended primarily for the writing - highly unusual for an indie book.

Cautions |

|
The story meanders at points and is more literary than plot-driven. |
