FATE TAKES A HOLIDAY (The Novel) Dixie Browning (The Author)

For many generations The Author lives in North Carolina and She Wrote :

Her Serene Highness SOPHIE PENNYBAKER works in Kellyco Dye and Finishing, FATE RIDGEWAY a comptroller is sent from New York office to TURBYVILLE, South Carolina , A Town of
20 Thousand friendly Souls. Where Sophie is working since 16 years, at present she is Secratery to the CEO (Cheif Execution Officer) Because Fate is sent here for a period of 5 Months to cut out the deadwood and streamline the whole operation and their office is on the 5th Floor of the only building with 5 Floors in the Town and Kellyco Dye and Finishing the only Industry.

The habits and society of this town as described in the book looks like protestants everything about the attitude of these people is protestants , simple and hardworking and very devoted to the work. The Author does not mention Protestants anywhere in the book , but her discriptions are so vivid, I could easily deduce as much. All characters sketched in the novel are so effecient in their work and they have a no nonsense attitude, I read all books of Poldok
series Ross Poldok and Demelza Poldok, I enjoyed this book, its dialogues are crisp Potatao
Chips keep you interested till the last page which is page no.188.
