Lovely.............. 4 1/2 stars!

Can you ever go wrong with a classic Lavyrle Spencer? This book's slower pace sets the tone for the slow building love between two loners in society. Will Parker (ex-con) is alone and can't find his place in the world. Being unfairly fired from jobs based on his stent in prison, he is about to give up hope when he reads a want ad in the Whitney, Georgia paper for a woman seeking a husband. Having no other leads and nothing to lose he answers the ad and when he shows up at a dilapitated and run down house he realizes he's getting more than what he bargained for. He sees a woman greet him from the door with 2 small children and with a pregnant belly to boot. Elly Dinsmore is considered the town loon because she lived her whole life behind closed doors under the nose of religous fanatics. Needing a set of hands to help her after her husband dies, she places the ad and also gets more than what she bargained for.....a love like she's never known.

Will agrees to answer the ad and to finally have a place to call home. The house created a challenge for Will and he was grateful to anyone who would give him a fair chance. Elly was that person. Over time they discovered eachother and found a love so pure it leaves you breathless.

Many other elements give this sweet story and exciting element....Will gets drafted into the war and reading their love notes to one another is heartbreaking....get your hankies out ladies!

I loved, loved, loved this story. 3 dimensional characters, the friendships they formed, the love that was undeniable, the tension, build up, excitement. It has all the elements of a timeless love story. I recommend it highly!!!

Ms. Spencer's book "Morning Glory", she said she read it and loved it. She told me the plot,and I searched to find it. I'm a sucker for hero's who have lost all hope, and never have found a place in this world. Though set at the beginning of WWII it was for me a history buff a wonderful story of two very hurt souls who found in each other and the 'magic of love'.

Ms. Spencer built up each character, gave this reader a backstory for each that made me love and want these two to find love together. As always her characters aren't perfect and that gave them depth. When the story came to an end, the ex-con and the widow with two kids, one on the way...had found that elusive thing(happiness) loved 'Morning Glory' teared up a time or two, the small town feel of the novel resonated like 'Peyton Place' in some ways...and you know that's what I love books that take you to a place you've never been and the author makes you feel that you have....JV

Good story, but too explicit

I enjoyed this story & I'm not a prude, but it was just too explicit for me. I understand that Lula's character had to be described & the sexual tension between Will & Elly had to be developed, but it got to be too much. I agree with the reviewer's comment about the obsession with tongues--it became annoying after awhile. I also think the repetitive descriptions dragged the momentum down as well. (How often do we have to read about Elly staring at the moles on Will's back?!) Enough already!

One of my favorite LaVyrle Spencer's!

One of Spencer's gifts is invoking the feel of the time period she is writing about. It's all in the little details that are included to give you a real sense of the time and place.

I re-read Morning Glory every year or so and enjoy it every time. Will and Elly are classic characters finding love and redemption from hard-knock lives. The only quibble I have is that the book gets a little buried in sincerity and goodness. A little more humor on Will or Elly's part would have gone a long way to liven up sections. I know Spencer was going for deep, homespun love, but at times it just feels lethargic.

Still love it though and love what little humor there is in the book.

Very much recommended.
