Sarah, Plain and Tall has a timeless quality about it. It was published in 1985 but was set a lot earlier. It is about a widowed dad and his 2 children. He advertises for a wife and Sarah, who describes herself as plain and tall writes and offers to stay for a month to assess the situation.
The tale is touching, funny and at times heart-breaking. Sarah sings which brings music back into their lives. She is from the seaside in Maine a country very different from the prairie. She misses the sea.
I haven't read the book but I did see the movie years ago and loved it. I may get the book sometime.
