Reviews
"Fun and funny, spiked with tragedy and sad times." -USA Today "A FUNNY, POIGNANT FIRST NOVEL ABOUT THE BONDS BETWEEN WOMEN." -Houston Chronicle " Patty Jane's House of Curl has the emotional warmth of Lake Wobegon and the tender/tough female characters who populated Fried Green Tomatoes. . . . A unique story." -St. Paul Pioneer Press "WARM, TENDER, ULTIMATELY INSPIRATIONAL." -West Coast Review of Books "HOMESPUN WISDOM PEPPERS EVERY PAGE." -Publishers Weekly "Lorna Landvik stands by her characters . . . embracing their eccentricities, delighting in their accomplishments, forgiving them their failings. She knows these people and loves them-and gives us their story with uncommon wit and charm and, best of all, a wonderful sense of mischief." -STEVEN ZAILLIAN Oscar-winning writer of the screenplay for Schindler's List "Patty Jane's House of Curl is the story of women 'who were lucky enough to find a place where they could not only talk, but be heard.' Like Ione's famous coffee cakes, the frosting may be treacle-sweet, but underneath there's something substantial." -The Dallas Morning News "This book is worth reading and rereading. . . . Landvik evokes female bonding and tragedy in a humorous way." - The Register-Herald (West Virginia) "Funny and romantic . . . Peopled with characters so real, so warm, so funny, the book could be a Northern Exposure in print. . . . Readers will be reminded that this is what it is like to live." -The Stuart News "A cast of characters funny, sad, and real. You can't help but laugh and shed a tear. Has been compared to Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe , but for Midwesterners it holds a special appeal with a terrific sense of place." - BookWomen (Minnesota) "Amazingly vivid . . . This novel breezes merrily along, but don't read it without a hankie. This is a winner for fans of Garrison Keillor and Danielle Steel." -Library Journal, "Fun and funny, spiked with tragedy and sad times." -USA Today "A FUNNY, POIGNANT FIRST NOVEL ABOUT THE BONDS BETWEEN WOMEN." -Houston Chronicle "Patty Jane's House of Curl has the emotional warmth of Lake Wobegon and the tender/tough female characters who populated Fried Green Tomatoes. . . .

Synopsis
Patty Jane Dobbin should have known better than to marry a man as gorgeous as Thor Rolvaag, but she was too smitten to think twice. Yet nine months into their marriage, with a baby on the way, Thor is gone. It s a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister, Harriet, to rely on. For it s been said that a fine haircut can cure any number of ills, and before long the Minnesota sisters have opened a neighborhood beauty parlor complete with live harp music and an endless supply of delicious Norwegian baked goods. It s a wonderful, warmhearted place where you can count on good friends, lots of laughter, tears, and comfort when you need it and the unmistakable scent of somebody getting a permanent wave. . . .", Maybe Patty Jane Dobbin should know better than to marry a man as gorgeous as Thor Rolvaag, but she's too smitten to think twice. Yet nine months into their marriage, with a baby on the way, Thor is gone. It's a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister Harriet to rely on--not to mention her extremely short, extremely rich almost-brother-in-law, Avel Ames. It's been said that a good haircut can cure any number of ills, and before long the Minnesota sisters have opened a neighborhood beauty parlor complete with live harp music and an endless supply of delicious Norwegian baked goods. It's a wonderful, warm-hearted place where you can count on good friends, lots of laughter, tears, and comfort when you need it--and the unmistakable scent of someone getting a permanent wave. . . .
