A Piggly Wiggly Wedding
Sep 9, 2010


Title: A Piggly Wiggley Wedding
Author: Robert Dalby
Publisher: Berkeley Trade Paperback
Publication Date: August 3rd, 2010
ISBN: 978-0-425-23452-5

A nice little Southern small town novel. The cutesy names are sometimes a bit tough to take, but the story itself holds it’s own.

Mr. Choppy, all of 71 and the new town mayor, has decided to wed Gaylie Girl Lyons, his secret love since the 40s. The town is overjoyed about this and wants to throw a giant wedding. Only hitch in the plans is Gaylie Girl’s adult children, who fear the money they’ve been living on from her first husband – their daddy – may start to be spent by the new husband instead of themselves.

So the town matriarchs, known as the Nitwitts, decide to butt in and get this whole matter put to bed, so to speak.

This is the third book in the Piggly Wiggly series, so if you’ve been following it, you already know these people well.

Welcome to the Book Review Section at the Dew!

If you are a publishing house or author who has a book Southern in nature, or by a Southern writer, that you would like the Dew to review, please contact me at dewonthekudzu@gmail.com and I will provide you mailing information. (Wink wink, nudge nudge... the Dew has been getting a little lax about the Southern rule recently... just saying.)

The Dew tries it's best to have a review online as close to the publication date as possible, depending on the number of books waiting for review.

Please note, book reviews are the Dew's "business". The Dew does NOT post it's reviews on other sites. Please do not request that we do so. Thank you.

BUT, if I review your book, you may feel free to share it wherever you wish!
