WALTZING AT THE PIGGLY WIGGLY

In this warmhearted little Southern novel the Piggly Wiggly is threatened by a new mega-market. A group of women from the town, the "Nitwits," come up with a plan to increase Piggly Wiggly business by offering the town's ladies a few hours of dancing in the aisles with the local eligible bachelor while clerks do their shopping. The plan fails, but all is not lost--love wins in the end. Clarinda Ross tries to infuse the characters with their own brand of Southern charm, but they all end up sounding pretty much the same. And the cotton candy dialogue finally becomes so cloyingly sweet that it's enough to make your teeth ache. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
