The Fattypants Papers

Fattypants writes about things that have actually happened to her...sometimes. Other times she writes about things that could have happened, but instead she made them up while going about her perfectly ordinary business. The 'Pants also reviews things like books, movies, foofie bath products, and anything else that strikes her fancy.

SRP Book Review #18

Quite a Year for Plums by Bailey White

220 pages

This was just a nice little book. There is a large cast of eccentric characters, and it reads more like short stories than a cohesive narrative. It takes place in South Georgia, so I recognized some of the wildlife and geography, especially since there are a few visits to Florida. I did have some trouble keeping the characters straight, and I think if it was a longer book, I might have lost patience with the way the story kind of meanders around, not really being about any one person (or even two or three people) in particular, but it was nice and refreshing for a quick read.
