New Mercies Audiobook

" Another good book from Sandra Dallas. It had a lot of things that suprised me, and I really liked that. The one thing that I had a hard time with was remembering that it was set in the 1930's. The way that she talked about it made me picture it in our time. That was one thing that I wish were different. "

" Another easy read for the summer. Not as good as The persian pickle club, but worth the read. "

" Cute story. Great lead in for a sequel. "

" Kept me guessing until the very end. "

" My favorite line in the book came when the main character meets a man who asks her for change. The character ignores him and the man calls out to her "Hey snooty lady, Jesus loves you." When I read this line, I remembered hearing Sandra Dallas speak and she talked about this line and how it was a personal experience she weaved into her story. "

" I think this is my second fav. of her books. Persian Pickle Club is first. A woman finds out about an inheritance from an unknown great-aunt in the South in the 1930's. She leaves Denver to (unknowingly) discover her past at a time when her present is painful at best. Small spoiler - there is a limited homosexual element in the book. Other than that, it's an interesting read, and as always with her books, a fascinating glimpse into a different time period. I also like that not only is it a different time period, but since the primary character is from Denver, but visiting the "deep south", you really see the difference in two very very different cultures that exist at the same time and in the same country. Definitely an engaging read. "

" Excellent book! Another winner from Sandra Dallas. Surprises around every corner. "

" A fun mystery in a great setting but still not my favorite Sandra Dallas. "

" Good story set in Natchez in the 1930's. "

" Not one of my favorites. Just had a harder time immersing myself in this one. "

" This was a fair read. I did not like it as well as Dallas' older books, The Chili Queen or The Persian Pickle Club, but it was a good story. "

" Quick, interesting read -- great for the plane! I sometimes felt like she'd found an intersting tidbit about the area while doing her research, and then included it in a forced kind of way, but for the most part it flowed well. "

" Loved this book and her writing style. It was one of those that was hard to put down. Will definitely read other books written by her. "

" 10 pages in I will let you know "

" I am loving this book...another deep south mystery where everyone has skeletons in their closets!!! My kind of book.:0 Hopefully the ending will be satisfying!!! "

" I generally like books by Sandra Dallas, and enjoyed that this one was a bit of a mystery. I like the concept of "new mercies", those little things that help you heal and move on from something difficult. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I live in the south and it was good to see it from another perspective, and from another time. Makes me want to go to Natchez. "

" Book set in the 1930's, the Old South, Natchez plantation homes...should LOVE this book! A bit slow, the book never seems to pick up the pace. "

" I was disappointed because I have read other books by this author that were much better "

" Nice story. I liked the way the author thread the past into the present... not taking away from the present. "

" I usually really like Sandra Dallas but I didn't like this one. It moves very slowly and I didn't like the basis story line. I would not recommend this book. "

" It took me a long time to care about the characters in this book. By the time I started to care about them, the main character tells about why she divorced her husband (because she found him in bed with another man)....I just found it really disturbing even though it was very vague. "

" I read another book by this author, Chilli Queen. I didn't like it at all. But this was a nice book with 2 plots that complimented each other. "

" Not my favorite Sandra Dallas book. Okay. Not a nice surprise towards the end. "

" Story about family and relationships. I enjoyed it. "

" Great Southern story told in super Sandra Dallas style - It doesn't get much better than that ! "

" Sandra Dallas has created a memorable community of characters and shares a real understanding of southern culture in the 1930's, as we witness the evolution of Nora Bondurant's perspective of her life and where she belongs. "
