Product Description
Her sleazy husband left her for a lingerie model who's barely more than a teenager, and her kids are busy with their own lives. But before Miriam Elizabeth Swanson can work herself up into a true snit about it all, her newest tenant, Liz, arrives from Birmingham with plenty of troubles of her own. And then Miriam meets a man named Harrison, who makes her laugh, makes her cry, and makes her feel like a brand-new woman. It's almost too much for one Manhattan quasi-socialite to handle?so Miriam's escaping to the enchanted and mysterious land of Sullivans Island, deep in the low country of South Carolina, a place where she can finally get her head on straight?and figure out that it's not pride that's going to keep her warm at night . . .

 Great Read October 25, 2008
Wonderfully written about the inter-relationships of a dysfunctional family, who find their way with love to a new beginning.
 Summer readbook it was amusing and August 9, 2008
I really enjoyed this book. It was a good summer reading book. You can read it at the beach on a weekend and it was funny heart warming and delightful.
Do resd Land of Mango Sunsets! July 17, 2008
A little different from other DBF books that I've read, this book tells the story of a Manhattan wannabe lock jaw who was brought up to know diffently. She endures some hard knocks in life and finds out along the way what it really takes to find happiness. In the process, she returns to her Southern roots (of course) but on the path to happiness we meet many eccentric characters, including her hippe mother, her fabulous gay tenant, her amusing parrot Harry, and various ridiculous "Social List" types. It'll keep you laughing.
land of mango sunsets June 26, 2008
alot more drama in this particular book; enjoyable, but not as likable as others by d.b.frank
wanting more June 21, 2008
I love Dorothea Benton Frank. However, the Land of Mango Sunsets left me wanting. BTW - I am the main character's age, so there was a lot to potentially identify with. Some situations were dealt with too thinly. The message is wonderful. Kevin was hysterical. However, an entire book could have been written about after Mellie's mother died, the Harrison story. As usual she makes me laugh out loud but I didn't find the depth of her other works in this one.
