Sayers, V: How I Got Him Back

Mary Faith Rapple wonders when her lover will stop making promise he can't keep--and leave his wife at last. But Mary Faith isn't the only woman in town with man troubles, for everyone has someone they want, someone they can't have, and someone they want to forget. Sayers has a gift for voice and the honest, gritty commentary about human behavior. This book offers her own version of the humor that Southern writers from Eudora Welty to Flannery O'Connor to Reynolds Price use so tellingly. Sayers' novel is a skillful and well-crafted book which should appeal to readers of intelligent fiction.
