Lorna Landvik’s lovely book “Chronicles Of A Radical Hag” is a marvelous antidote for a reader overwhelmed by the constant bombardment of discouraging news. In the form of newspaper columns that have been written in the past by a now ailing, elderly woman the novel does tackle serious subjects but with the most humanity and kind manner. That seems only fitting given that it all takes place in Minnesota an area renowned for it’s citizens basic decency and all around niceness.

Props to an author who can describe her coma prone character so well, using just that character’s writing and the impressions of those whose lives she has impacted, to give the reader the feeling that they have run into an old friend.
