About this product

Product Information

Patty Jane Dobbin should have known better than to marry a man as gorgeous as Thor Rolvaag, but she was too smitten to think twice. Yet nine months into their marriage, with a baby on the way, Thor is gone. It s a good thing Patty Jane has her irrepressible sister, Harriet, to rely on. For it s been said that a fine haircut can cure any number of ills, and before long the Minnesota sisters have opened a neighborhood beauty parlor complete with live harp music and an endless supply of delicious Norwegian baked goods. It s a wonderful, warmhearted place where you can count on good friends, lots of laughter, tears, and comfort when you need it and the unmistakable scent of somebody getting a permanent wave. . . ."

"Fun and funny, spiked with tragedy and sad times." -USA Today "A FUNNY, POIGNANT FIRST NOVEL ABOUT THE BONDS BETWEEN WOMEN." -Houston Chronicle " Patty Jane's House of Curl has the emotional warmth of Lake Wobegon and the tender/tough female characters who populated Fried Green Tomatoes. . . . A unique story." -St. Paul Pioneer Press "WARM, TENDER, ULTIMATELY INSPIRATIONAL." -West Coast Review of Books "HOMESPUN WISDOM PEPPERS EVERY PAGE." -Publishers Weekly "Lorna Landvik stands by her characters . . . embracing their eccentricities, delighting in their accomplishments, forgiving them their failings.

    Unforgettable

    Lorna Landvik is a writer who can tell a heart wrenching story with brilliant twists and unforgettable outcomes. This is a book about the lives of a two sisters and how the paths that they have taken over the years and many additional characters surround a salon named the House of Curl. The twist is when one sister that is pregnant has a husband that never comes home and she is left to wonder what happened and to raise the child herself. With the help of her sister a whole life unfolds and there is a very unexpected twist about the husband’s circumstance years later. It was riveting and in has some great historical add-in from Minneapolis. RICH CHICKS specializes in media that is purchased by women. We read hundreds of books every year and are serious about or recommendations. We review ...

    Light reading with great depictions of life in the 50s & 60s in Minneapolis.

    This book alligns with my own upbringing and the time capsule it represents is quite delightful. A friend made a point of recommending this author, and I am looking forward to the next book by her.

    Patty Jane's House of Curl

    I found this book to be a great tribute to the relationships between women. It was heartwarming and provided a glimpse into the time in which I was a child. I purchased this book following the reading of another of Landvik's books, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, which is the August selection for the women's book group to which I belong through our public library.
