The Milagro Beanfield War

Well hello to everyone. I hope everybody is having a good summer. Well I just wanted to know if anybody that is reading the book knows during what time period this book is taking place. I am really enjoying the book. I especailly like the way the writer sets up the scene and introduces all the the characters with a description. For example, the part where he descibes the relationship beteen Flossie and Shorty ( I think that was an example of what Viet had posted earlier about it having very descriptive sences). Well thats it for now. Bye.....
