Monday's Reviews Today: Benton Frank Returns to the South & Heller Hangs Ten
Dorothea Benton Frank's sequel to Plantation, Lowcountry Summer, will be a welcome read for fans who "appreciate Frank's signature mix of sass, sex, and gargantuan personalities." About the matriarch of a Southern family trying to keep everyone in line, the novel "lovingly mixes a brew of personalities who deliver nonstop clashes, mysteries, meltdowns, and commentaries." And in Peter Heller's Kook: What Surfing Taught Me About Love, Life, and Catching the Perfect Wave, we get a "gripping memoir of finding the value of life while shooting the curl off Baja."
