A friend of mine says when he was a child, his older brother used to hold him down and try and fart in his face. Boys….

heh. I have two boys~9 and 6. I can attest to their preoccupation with any kind of potty humor. I hear “hey, don’t hit me in the nuts, weiner etc etc” at least once a day!

Also, since I live in WI, this might be interesting. . .

Bev, I love “Morning Glory.” IIRC, it’s the first Spencer book I read and I agree, nothing has quite matched up to it since.

MC, if you hate them that much, then yes, you’ll have to pass as Earl is very proud of his nickname and insists that others use it.

This sounds like I really might enjoy it, so I put it on my Books-A-Million wishlist.

Even though it was a romance, Lavyrle Spencer’s “Morning Glory” dealt with World War II, pre-war, during and post-war. This was seen through the eyes of the characters in a small Georgia town. It was a very good book and I went on to read more of her works. None of her other books quite measured up to “Morning Glory”, but a few came close.

I realize that I got off the track, but when you were describing “Carry Me Home”, it made me think of “Morning Glory”.

Excellent review, Jayne. As usual, you do a great job of telling what you liked about the book in a way that helps us figure out whether we’d like it or not. I can think of several people to whom I will recommend this — thanks!

Earl Hedwig Gunderman, Earwig for short

I likely would enjoy this B reviewed book for I do love a good historical, but I must pass due to the hero’s nickname…earwigs are horrendous insects that completely revolt me with their lobster-like claws and insidious inflitration. Eeeek!
