Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Today it is almost as if every author is trying to write a gooed holiday book. And while many try, few succeed as well as Fannie Flagg does with her book, A Redbird Christmas. Ms. Flagg does a wonderful job of not only describing the true spirit of hometown life but also how importanrt people are in our lives all year long, not only during the holidays.
When a man from Chicago living on a government pension, is told by his doctor that he is dying, he seeks a place that will be affordable for his last days. Moving to a small town in Alabama that his doctor recommends for the warmer climate, little does this man expect to find the people, community or even a redbird who change his life around for the better.
A Redbird Christmas is a warm hearted and well crafted holiday book. The characters are reminiscent of those found in Ms. Flagg's classic Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe and the setting will place you between the pages of her more recent book, Standing in the Rainbow.
I highly recommend this book as I do all of Flagg's books. They are books to be cherished and this is no exception. It is the perfect size for a stocking stuffer which will give all readers a good time and even better journey to understanding human kindness. And the best part is the characters will stay with you long after you close the pages of the book.
Happy holidays to all and especially to you Ms. Fannie Flagg. Long may you continue to provide me with wonderful reads that spark my imagination about small town life in the USA.
