Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There are things folks whisper about in Springfield, Tennessee, and things they know better than to speak aloud. The Ragland house, is filled with the kind of silence that thickens over time-an ache that Shirley Ragland, fifteen and too clever for her own good, feels deep in her marrow. It is 1942, and the world outside is set afire by war, but inside that house, Shirley fights a quieter war: against a mother who never wanted her, an affable father who enjoys his daily drink, and her three brothers all gone to war. The house is emptier than it ever was, and Springfield is a town where people mind their own business-except when they don't. Ora Ragland was born with a mind that could have built empires, but she was born a woman in a time that had no use for such things. A trifecta of misfortune conspired against her-her father's sins, the station in life she was expected to accept-dutiful wife with no ambition beyond her kitchen walls; and the unspoken rule of 1942 that a woman's brilliance was something to be endured, not cultivated. By the time she was forty-five, she had become the sum of all that was taken from her, and Shirley, the late-born daughter she never wanted, was both a reminder of her squandered intellect and the living embodiment of the girl she might have been-if the world had not clipped her wings. The only tenderness Shirley has ever known comes from Earline, the family's Black housekeeper, a bond that is resented by Ora and whispered about by the town's women over their Sunday roast. When Ora, 49, couldn't nurse her own child, Earline shared the milk meant for her baby with Shirley, forming an inseparable bond between them. That bond extended to Benji, her son, who, until they were pre-teens, were raised side-by-side. Trixie Simpson, Ora's first cousin and a beautiful widow at 42, drips with desire and smells of sin, exactly the sort of woman Shirley dreams of becoming. Her cousins' allure, to both Shirley, who wants to emulate her, and to young Bo, Shirley's first infatuation, will spark a secret firestorm that ends in tragedy. Bo is Shirley's first taste of something like freedom-until he isn't. Until the weight of secrets and small-town expectations comes crashing down upon them both. Because Bo is not as free as he seems. Not in a town where men of the cloth have their own sins to confess. Tom Walker, the troubled church organist, a recent transplant from Philadelphia, watches from the shadows, his devotion to the Priest curdling into something reckless and unholy. And when Bo Harris is found dead, a gunshot wound to the head, the town is quick to call it a suicide, eager to stitch up the frayed edges of an ugly story before it can unravel completely. But Shirley-sharp-eyed, unflinching, and unwilling to be swallowed by the hush of tragedy-knows better. And she will not be silent. But her own false assumptions cause her to make scandalous accusations against the priest, which cannot be unsaid, and which uncover other scandals the town won't soon forget. Rich with the humid weight of a Southern summer, Dandelion Wine is a story of complicated relationships between mothers and daughters, of love twisted by the unrelenting hands of race, class, and war. It is a Southern coming-of-age story of a girl who learns too early that innocence is a fragile thing, easily lost but never forgotten. In a town where the past never dies, and secrets spread like kudzu, strangling everything in their path, Shirley Ragland must decide what kind of woman she will become-whether she will fold beneath the weight of society's suffocating expectation or blaze a trail so fierce and untamed that no man, no law, and no whispering town can hold her back. Hers is not just a path carved from defiance, but a wildfire of will and brilliance, refusing to be tamed, refusing to be anything less than the woman she was a Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Dandelion Wine is a seething Southern coming-of-age novel steeped in longing and lit by the slow fire of defiance.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. It is the summer of 1942, and the world beyond is aflame with war, but in the smothering heat of Springfield, Tennessee, another battle simmers. At its center stands Shirley Ragland, fifteen, brilliant, born into a place that believes girls should marry young and know their place. The late-in-life child of a hard-hewn father, Jim, and mother, Ora-stern and aloof-not cruel by design, but by circumstance. Into this world comes Trixie Simpson, the glamorous widow. Trixie comes to Sunday Mass smelling of sin and Chanel, and Shirley idolizes her for it. And then there's the Ragland's domestic, Earline, the Black woman who raised Shirley with the sort of love Ora couldn't bear to offer, and Earline's son, Benjamin, whose childhood bond with Shirley treads into dangerous territory.Bo Harris appears like first loves often do-genuine, untested, except to Ora-he's not good enough. He sees Shirley in a way that startles her, and in the South, being seen can be as perilous as being touched. Hovering over it all is Father Schadenfreude, the town's brooding Polish priest. With his storm-dark eyes and voice like velvet, he is a man both feared and revered. Dandelion Wine is a seething Southern coming-of-age novel steeped in longing and lit by the slow fire of defiance. And as the summer heat rises, Shirley must choose whether to shrink into the story written for her-or light a match and watch it burn. Dandelion Wine is a seething Southern coming-of-age novel steeped in longing and lit by the slow fire of defiance. This item is printed on demand.
