![]() ![]() ![]() That said, I found it all a well-done but still just a bunch of stories loosely bound together. I enjoyed the way the author could bring each and every one of them to life and to make their stories mine. Their stories are bound together and to Lucille and her life, and each in his or her own way is endearing. A number of interesting, new characters who live in the area are introduced into the story, each with his or her own tale. Still, Iris can help out with some of the jobs Lucille prefers not to do or perhaps can no longer do to her satisfaction. Due to her age, Lucille advertises for a helper, and Iris, a girl from Boston, comes into the picture, though Iris knows nothing about baking. Maddy makes just a cameo appearance in the book, but she still is there. Lucille, at the tender age of 88, is conducting baking classes. ![]() Lucille and Maddy are off on a new adventure. Still, a reader can read this as a stand-alone, as I said. I have not read that book and found myself sometimes wondering about what was going on as well as hoping/looking for back story that just was not there. Although it is not necessary to have read The Story of Arthur Truluv, before reading this one, as it can be a stand-alone, it would probably help understand and appreciate this one. ![]()
