It's like an American writer choosing to deal with California's nutty politics as background. Would an Argentinian or Swedish reader be apt to know who "Governor Moonbeam" is/was, and what that reference meant as a comparison or establisher of atmosphere?<br /><br />--Lynda in OregonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-32394706407566999752010-07-12T16:59:30.517-04:002010-07-12T16:59:30.517-04:00Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley...Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.

It's light and funny, but I think it's got more insight than a lot of easily consumed reads.Anmiryamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07370293151635318797noreply@blogger.com
