Women's Fiction Contemporary
In her eagerly anticipated second novel, The Sweet
Life,
York catches up with the good people of Swan’s Knob for
another
poignant, funny, and beautifully realized glimpse of
small-town life in
the South. It’s been eight years since Roy Swan
successfully
won the hand of piano teacher and resident choir director,
Miss Wilma
and now, their lives have settled into a state of happy
predictability.
But all that changes with the arrival of Miss Wilma’s
teenage
granddaughter, whose estranged father, Harper, follows
shortly behind.
Soon Harper has convinced Roy to let him stage a “small”
country and
bluegrass concert in his pasture, drawing thousands of
screaming fans,
not to mention a small forest of Porta Potties. Roy and
Wilma weather
each new tempest with grace and grit, until a crippling
stroke leaves
Roy debilitated—and life in Swan’s Knob becomes a lot less
simple. A worthy successor to her memorable debut,
Lynn York’s The Sweet Life weaves a story at once
whimsical and wise, filled with all the warmth and charm of
the South itself.

University and the

children
and a promise of decent vegetables and a yard with grass
brought her
back to North Carolina in 1995.
