The Land of Mango Sunsets
The Land of Mango Sunsets | Dorothea Benton Frank
4 posts | 6 read | 2 to read
Her despicable husband left her for a lingerie model who's barely more than a teenager, and her kids are busy with their own lives. But before Miriam Elizabeth Swanson can work herself up into a true snit about it all, her newest tenant, Liz, arrives from Birmingham with plenty of troubles of her own. Then Miriam meets a man named Harrison, who makes her laugh, makes her cry, and makes her feel like a brand-new woman. It's almost too much for one Manhattan quasi-socialite to handle—so Miriam's escaping to the enchanted and mysterious land of Sullivans Island, deep in the low country of South Carolina, a place where she can finally get her head on straight—and perhaps figure out that pride is not what's going to keep her warm at night . . .

The Land of Mango Sunsets really was not a profound tale, for sure, but an easy read and characters that you wanted to succeed. The relationships between multiple layers of family and friends was depicted admirably, and I like when things neatly come together -- and that is what happened in this book.

I have not liked the last few Dorothea Benton Frank books I read; thankfully, this one was different. It had characters I liked and just the right mix of lightness and deep themes for a summer read.
