adventurous informative inspiring slow-paced

5.0

This book paints a picture of life in 1940s Florida.  A clear and enjoyable story of the time, place and characters inhabiting this world.   Mainly a city person carving out their country life, as a Northerner making their home in the South, and not the genteel south, the hardscrabble south; and finally as a literary artist making their inspirational haven in a hard to cultivate working citrus grove.  This is their real life, the neighbors, employees and friends that were a part the literary artist's world, each as colourful and lush as the state itself.
