THE STAGGERFORD FLOOD Jon Hassler Viking Fiction ISBN: 0670031259 I have small-town envy. I wouldn't be caught dead living too far from good bookstores, restaurants, or movie houses. I'd rather poke myself in the eye with a sharp stick than grow a garden. I much prefer the anonymity of a classy hotel to the coziness of the most lauded bed-and-breakfast. And I prefer not to know my neighbors. Still Completely against my citified type, reading a Jon Hassler novel gives me sharp pangs of "I wish I lived there." Especially when "there" is the fictional Minnesota town of Staggerford. THE STAGGERFORD FLOOD takes place in the small town introduced in Hassler's first novel STAGGERFORD and revisited in A GREEN JOURNEY and DEAR JAMES. In his latest novel, Hassler uses a natural disaster to strew the familiar milieu with characters that appeared in previous novels. This novel opens a year after the flood, with elderly retired schoolteacher Agatha McGee planning a party to celebrate the anniversary of the deluge that laid waste to parts of Staggerford. Hassler then takes us back to a year earlier, when Agatha's failing health has dampened her natural bossy curiosity and left her ignorant of much going on around her. A natural, if irascible, leader, Agatha isn't used to being out of the loop, but apathy bred from grief over the death of a dear friend is a powerful narcotic. It takes THE STAGGERFORD FLOOD literally rising around her to make Agatha shake off her gloominess and realize she's still loved and needed.

Jon Hassler Writes Again Well, Jon Hassler hasn't written to us, but he has written a new book. Dick Jenson retired several years ago. Luckily that hasn't kept him from reading. He wrote recently in hopes of renewing his "subscription." No problem, Dick. You're on the list. Here's what Dick wrote: "The book I have just finished reading is Jon Hassler's latest: The Staggerford Flood. He remains in my estimation at the top of the list of Minnesota novelists. He may not be as widely read as Sinclair Lewis or Scott Fitzgerald, but his acute description of small-town, rural living is much more inclusive and comprehensive than Lewis'. And Fitzgerald didn't actually deal with this major aspect of Minnesota life in his fiction. For me, there is nothing in Lewis' work that has the focused intensity of The Love Hunter or the polished craftsmanship of Grand Opening "One of Hassler's most endearing characters, Agatha McGee, returns in The Staggerford Flood She ends up housing several refugees from the over-flowing Badbattle River. Agatha enjoys the pajama-party atmosphere in her ample home. Hassler populates the group with a variety of amusing, refreshing characters, including some from previous novels. "The major crux of the plot involves Agatha devising an ingenious false identity for a deceased postmaster of an adjoining town, thus maintaining the post office operations and helping the remaining businesses keep operating.

Journal entry by Visnyk (9/3) from Tecumseh, Michigan USA on Monday, May 10, 2004 I was really looking forward to reading this book. I must sadly write, Staggerford Flood is not one of my favorite Jon Hassler novels. I'm a big Hassler fan; I've have read most of his books, but I feel this latest offering pales next to others. The characters are not as well developed, and the plot (7 or so local residents are holed up in the protagonist’s house during a flood) did not hold my interest. The flood and its physical consequences are not described with much detail. The book focuses more on the flood’s psychological influence on the characters. If you plan to read this book, I would suggest reading 'Staggerford' first. Not only is Staggerford a superior read, but it will also help you to better identify with the characters of ‘Flood.’ book rating: back to top Menu home join bookcrossing about bookcrossing frequent questions ... jobs recently released Das Haus der Barbapapas Released by barbaraschubert in Wien, Wien, Austria
