Dear Readers,
Deeanne Gist burst onto the Christian fiction scene a few short years ago with a wonderful spin on the historical genre. She added humor, lots of it. It made for a delightful read and one that just added to the pleasure of losing yourself in a light and easy read.
Sadly I have to admit I have not read all her books, but the ones I have I have completely enjoyed. They are full of quirky and fun characters that make it an engaging time spent in the past. It is the perfect way to spend an afternoon.
It Happened at the Fair is Deeanne’s most recent release and once again she uses an usual setting and gives us a bit of a history lesson while charming us with the characters. Cullen McNamara has an invention that he has bet the family farm on. He sets up at the Chicago’s World Fair in 1893 to show it off. When he can’t hear what potential buyers are saying, he hires Della to teach him the art of lip reading. The problem is Cullen has a hard time concentrating on his lessons, Della is quite a distraction.
To help you get the feel of the world’s fair, Deeanne has added pictures of different inventions, displays and even the giant Wheel that Mr. Ferris brought to show off. It adds to the story see what people were excited about at the World’s Fair. Things that we will either find common place or even silly, it just helps the story to be an even more complete picture.
Happy Reading.
