"Another Great Courtenay Book"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I think I liked this from start to finish. Some very good characters and a great ending which Bryce Courtenay has seemed to have mastered the art of doing with his books. Mrs Moses, who is the main character, seems to be the ideal heroine to turn any book into a great read and this, The Family Frying Pan, is the perfect example of a great read!

Description

Mrs Moses is a small woman with a big heart and enormous courage. The only survivor of a Cossack raid on her village, she takes with her a big cast-iron frying pan, so heavy that she can only sling it over her back. Yet this is no ordinary frying pan - it's the Family Frying Pan, blessed with a Russian soul. From this frying pan Mrs Moses manages to feed the various refugees who are travelling with her across Russia to freedom. In return, each of the group must tell a story around the campfire at night - stories of compassion and bravery, of human frailty and, above all, of hope. The Family Frying Pan is Bryce Courtenay at his storytelling best. 'It comes from inside Courtenay's soul, which is the soul of a storyteller and a pilgrim ...Get out the tissues.'
