Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Product Description At the center of a vicious custody battle, Ada Cunningham, a young musician, runs away and finds herself at a circus where she discovers a meaning to her life that transcends suffering and gives birth to art From Publishers Weekly Both whimsy and wisdom are present in this delightful first novel, a finalist for the Maxwell Perkins Prize, whose author also received the Drue Heinz Prize for Literature. In fresh, resonant prose, Hunnicutt tells the story of Ada (later Norma) Cunningham, who overcomes the death of her mother, her father's insanity, an aunt's dementia, her own physical disabilities and assorted vicissitudes of life on the run to find her metier as a composer and her safe harbor in a community of retired circus folk. Ranging back and forth in time between the details of Ada's childhood and teenage years in the little town of Richmount, Ind., and her present circumstances and new identity among a group of elderly but feisty circus veterans, the novel has a stock of vivid characters and engrossing episodes. Hunnicutt skillfully interpolates musical details integral to the narrative, and she poses intriguing questions about genius and creativity. Unfortunately, some of the plot twists are "too preposterous to be true," as Ada herself describes her life, and there are a few too many melodramatic incidents. Hunnicutt does not yet have the sure touch of magic that Anne Tyler is able to inject into similar characters and situations; but she is on her way. This is an auspicious debut.Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Handicapped Ada Cunningham, teenage fugitive and street musician, confronts mysterious events and eccentric people in this intricate, fluid, and gritty tale of hidden evil painfully brought to light and conquered. Resourceful and street-wise, Ada is also a sensitive, sheltered, and reflective heroine. After she is driven to flee an avenging aunt, she hides in dark bars and seedy lodgings until she comes to the winter home of a circus, where life and death, art and reality vie for survival. "Music helps us organize our lives," Ada concludes at the end of this affirmation of the persistence and importance of both life and art. At times melancholy, at times joyous, always tight and riveting, this first novel and winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize is highly recommended.
