An absolute delight!
Even though Klumpers’s latest addition to her repertoire is a novella, it’s a fully fleshed charming story that satisfies inspirational romance readers.
Buttonholed is a feast of southern wit and laugh-out-loud yet tasteful tale of a two-century-long polite feud, the origin of which have been so politely ignored that no one in the small Tennessee community, known equally as Coventryville and Lowellton depending on which side of town you’re on, has never been outed. Until strangers intent on creating a documentary come to town. Their objectivity uproots a whole cellar-full of secrets.
Reputation is everything in this little hidebound town; something Manderley Jessop, proud Latimore descendant, realizes needs to be dealt with after hearing the sermon that stuck with her on the sacrifice Christ made in giving up his own reputation to clear ours. With so much family happiness on the line, the time has come to put her own convictions into action and do business with enemy. But through the back alley for now.
I adored this story. Full of clever bits of information, the lines of fiction and fact are blurred by this gifted, natural story teller. Although a romance, little was completely predictable as Klumpers held back tantalizing detail as I wondered how these deluded folks were going to unravel the messes they’d made. The family names had me scrambling to sort out which belonged with what classic stories, an extra bit of fun. Told in close third from Pemberley’s side, readers of Christian romance with a glass of sweet tea and side of fried ham will love Buttonholed.
