I just
finished reading NORA BONESTEEL'S A
CHRISTMAS PAST, A Novella by Sharyn
McCrumb. I think a novella is longer
than a short story but shorter than a novel.
Nora Bonesteel is an elderly lady that can communicate with the
dead. I think she has been in all of
Sharyn McCrumb Ballad series books.
Although Nora is elderly, like all elderly people, she was once
young. She gets to talk to a dead
neighbor of years ago.... the neighbor is not a scary ghost at all. He has
a hero image about him. Also, a
double story in the novella is the sheriff of the county and his deputy go out
to arrest a person for a fender bender and they know he will be in jail over
Christmas. It has a good ending, which
reminds me of a joke alone the same line, but I won't tell it because it will
give away the sheriff vs fugitive plot.
I read it electronically. I have
no idea how long it is. It doesn't tell
me how many pages it is, just what percent that is in front of you. I can tell you this, it is 100% big.
It is a good
book! I mean story! (ahem!) I mean novella.
