- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh, that's good. Like A Town Like Alice, but more personal. I like Warren - including the way he's willing to take responsibility for his actions. Though his punishment was exactly what he needed - hope he can keep that going. She'll keep him straight. Only one real villain, or maybe two, in the whole book - the major opponent is circumstances. And seeing a depressed town come back to life is great in itself. This is going to be one of the regular rereads.
