(2) 4-6 Set on a remote farm on Vancouver Island in WWII and narrated by adopted nascent writer Franny, this madcap comedy features a host of eccentric characters, a UFO, a ghost, a magic garden, and a mystery involving a missing top-secret military airplane. Horvath embraces the chaos, and her bright prose and unerring sense of timing keep pages turning until the final, transcendently profound scene.
