mennonite in a little black dress by rhoda janzen

i have only one word: HILARIOUS!

if you're looking to laugh out loud frequently while reading, this is the book for you. if you are looking for plot or reasons or answers, skip it.

there are lots of mennonites near where i grew up, so that's one of the main reasons i thought about reading it (but the mennonites in ohio are different than the author's upbringing. she's part of the mennonite brethren church. the mennonite brethren also come to the u.s. via ukraine. the ones in ohio came directly from the netherlands and switzerland, where the faith originated.). that, and i heard some good reviews while at ala.

i liked it. it was a good pick-me-up :)
