An Addendum

I hope this is a one-off. After posting my review of Death by Darjeeling, I had a new insight. So here's the addendum.

I commented about the plethora of unusual names in Laura Childs' novel. That it bothered me and seemed excessive. The next day, though, I decided it might now be a tradition with tales set in the American South. Think of Steel Magnolias and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. I will give Ms. Childs the benefit of the doubt.

In the twelve years I lived in Florida, I can't remember running into anyone with such an unusual name. But a lot of people will tell you that Florida isn't really the South anymore.
