Riassunto

Kay Sorenson is stuck. She is forty years old and still trying -- and failing -- to please her glamorous, willful, and indifferent parents. She abandoned a promising music career, settled into a loveless marriage, became a careless mother, and began to drink, smoke, and daydream too much. But when her mother dies, Kay is left without her lifelong crutch and is finally forced to take her first tentative steps toward becoming the woman she wants to be.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Barbara Sutton The New York Times Book Review Giles...is a gifted writer -- witty, with keen, comic timing and a graceful sense of economy.

Karen Karbo San Jose Mercury News Giles is a darkly funny writer -- one is reminded of Carson McCullers -- and her dialogue is sharp enough to give you whiplash...[a] tough, brilliant little novel.

Kate Flatley The Wall Street Journal Molly Giles is a cut above....With tart humor and sharp wit, she makes her characters boldly three dimensional.

Jean Thompson author of Who Do You Love Iron Shoes is fierce, funny, always exhilarating. This is comedy with an edge to it, and grief that sees with clear eyes.

L'autore:
