Once again, Flagg's humor and respect and affection for her characters shine forth. Flagg's faith in the healing power of small towns and family are refreshing. Fans may be sorry at first to leave Elmwood Springs for the big city, but even the most reluctant will get wrapped up in Dena's search for the truth about her family and her past.

Vicarage Gate is handy for boutiques and restaurants on Kensington Church Street and a self-service laundry is nearby. If you bring a car into London, parking is likely to be a problem. An elegant curving staircase with wrought iron bannisters leads from the pleasant hallway past a wide, sunny windowsill full of plants to the bedrooms, which have even more the feel of a country vicarage. They are unusually spacious with solid, old-fashioned furniture and flower-sprigged wallpaper. Since the friendly managers make guests feel really welcome, and since this little hotel charges no more than many with half its charm and character, it is very popular. |
