Frances Parkinson Keyes was an American author who wrote about her life as the wife of a U.S. Senator and novels set in New England, Louisiana, and Europe. A convert to Roman Catholicism, her later works frequently featured Catholic themes and beliefs. Her last name rhymes with "skies," not "keys."
I read some Parkinson Keyes when I was a teenager and liked her. I just can't get into this one. I like the somewhat archaic feel and sound, it's a writing style I grew up with, even though it's not popular any more.
I'm just finding it too poky. Into the donation box.
