(3) IF YOU AREN'T SURE IF EITHER (1) OR (2) APPLY TO YOU THEN STOP READING NOW!!!! ========== Summary This story takes place in England during World War II. Sarah is delivering a bottle of wine for the vicar. She gets sidetracked by two English ladies and an American gentleman in a wash house. Commentary This story had a good premise, but I did not care for the execution. The greatest strength of this story was its descriptions of rural England during World War II. There was not much in the way of character development. The characters seemed to be more types then actual people, the narrator included. Possibly if this story had been better edited I would have enjoyed it more. Quite a few of the sentences in this story seemed much too long. It made the story seem rushed. Judgment This was not a good story, but the descriptions of rural England did give it some atmosphere.
