W HEN we first enter it, the fictional world of Mary Wilkins Freeman seems both familiar and strange. Weddings close the stories of lovers; heroines pine away of broken hearts; parents stand in the way of love, but love prevails. Many characters live happily ever after, while occasionally a character dies for a cause, leaving the world better, if poorer, than before. Yet each of these plot lines, familiar from traditional comedy or tragedy, receives a curious twist at Freeman's hands
