My book club chose this book, and I'm so glad they did. I wouldn't have picked it up otherwise - looks too much like a Jackie Collins read for my taste - but Paula Wall's writing was witty and clever and homey and thorougly enjoyable.

This book is brilliant. It's set in the south during the depression and the characters are all so real and relatable and hilariously funny. This book was a wonderful summer read and I look forward to more books by Paula Wall.

I read this several years ago and still have it on my bookshelf. I loved it that much. The language is just exquisite; the characters richly drawn; and it’s just plain fun to read about strong women and the intricate world of spirit production.

I absolutely loved this book. I actually listened to it rather than reading it. I'm not usually a big fan audiobooks but the reader did an excellent job. The story was intriguing and the characters were hilarious. It made me laugh out loud.

“A woman is like whiskey. She evaporates a little over time, distilled by disappointments and grief. One can never predict if the angels will take the best of her or the worst. Only time will tell if the woman that remains will be bitter, dispirited, or aged to perfection.” Just one of many great lines from the book. Great characters and a fascinating story weaved through the telling of the Wilde women and all the people from Five Points Tennessee and the surrounding area.

I didn’t expect to like the book as much as I did - a pleasant surprise! Most surprising and fun was the author’s sarcastic humor.

One of the worst books I've ever read. Characters were so unbelievable. I should have put it down after a few pages instead of wasting my time finishing it.
