BUY IT!!

If you want an accurate portrayal of "plant life" then this is it. Having worked in a plant in younger years everything rang true. Pamela Duncan is a wonderful author. Don't pass this one up!

WONDERFUL, TRULY WONDERFUL!!!!!!!

A GREAT BOOK ABOUT WOMEN FROM THE SOUTH. WHAT MOST IMPRESSED ME WAS THE DIALECT BETWEEN THESE WOMEN, I FELT THAT I WAS THERE, LISTENING, AND WATCHING, AND SHARING THEIR LIVES. IF YOU LIKED MOON WOMEN, YOU'LL LOVE THIS SECOND NOVEL FROM A MOST TALENTED WRITER. WHEN I TURNED THE LAST PAGE, I FELT THAT I WASN'T READY TO "GIVE UP" MY FRIENDSHIP WITH THIS WONDERFUL GROUP. I JUST HOPE MS. DUNCAN IS HARD AT WORK ON HER THIRD NOVEL. I FOR ONE CAN'T WAIT.

An excellent title for a wonderful book

This book was so good it inspired me to write my first review. It is an exceptionally well-written perspective of small town southern life. The author develops interesting characters that make you feel as if you are living life through their eyes. She bring you to tears with sadness then buoys you up again with humour and the absurdity found even in bad times. If you are looking for an easy-to-read book that will engross you from the first few pages then you have found it with Plant Life.

Beautiful storytelling

I loved this book. I became connected to the characters so much that I missed them once the book was finished. I felt as if I had been to this little town and wanted to stay there awhile longer. I'm off to order Duncan's first novel, MOON WOMEN, which I hear is just as good.

Plant Life

Bravo!! This is an extraordinary book. I loved Moon Women so much,that I couldn't wait to read Plant Life. I was not disappointed. This book is full of amazing images and characters that once again demonstrate Duncan's unique understanding of the beauty and strength of rural women, who despites some bad life choices, discover their true purposes and strengths.
