Oldsters have passions, too!: I found this book delightful, even though my husband calls me "little miss literary reader." The story was endearing and the craft was elegant in its unobtrusive, patient, modest way. I gave it to my mother-in-law and my status shot up with her. No violence, no profanity, no gratuitous anything; just fine story about small town lives.
Heartwarming: Eleanor and Abel is a delightful story of two people finding love in what the character Eleanor would call the winter of what were very different lives. While the characters may be portrayed a bit too stereotypically, they manage to charm their way into the reader's heart nonetheless. Best of all, the book affirms that romance isn't just for the young, but for anyone, regardless of age. This is a perfect rainy afternoon book that's sure to leave you smiling.
Don't miss it!: I don't know if I've ever been treated to such a full, rich, endearing story in so few words! Only a couple hundred pages - and yet I felt as if I were visiting old friends for a long stay. I enjoyed this book immensely. But then, I'm rapidly approaching "Miss El's" age, so maybe that's why! :)
A must read!: Annette Sanford has a true talent for writing that is a fresh breath of air from the bland romance books on the market today. Eleanor and Abel is a beautiful story of love from a different point of view. If you enjoy reading romance novels from any level, make this the top of your list. I have had the oppourtunity to meet MS Sanford and she is a bright star in the writing world and an inspiration to be around. She is the sweetest woman I have met in a long time. A great read from an excellent author!
