When I was half-way through I realized I'd read it before. It was okay for a summer book, but not great literature. ( ) In 1932, in a small town in Tennessee, a young woman mortally wounds a stranger who is attempting to rape her in her own home. She buries the victim, still alive, in her front yard and she and her husband tell no one. Three generations of women live in the small house over the next four decades. West's portraits of ordinary people--their anger, disappointment, pride and just plain foolishness--make for a compelling work. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Appartient à la sérieCrazy Ladies (1)
A lively multigenerational tale of six charming, unforgettable Southern women--a story of love and laughter, pain and redemption. Though she was born in Tennessee, Miss Gussie is no country fool. A woman who can handle any situation, she has her hands full with her two headstrong daughters who happen to be complete opposites -- dour Dorothy and sweet Clancy Jane. Hoping money will heal childhood wounds, Dorothy marries the owner of a five-and-dime, while Clancy Jane gets into a mess of trouble, running off with a randy tomcat who pumps gas at the Esso stand. And then there are Gussie's granddaughters, the smart but plain Violet and fancy-talking Bitsy -- a new generation whose lives will reflect a nation's tumultuous times. From Tennessee to New Orleans, from psychedelic San Francisco to a remote Southwestern desert ranch, this funny, poignant novel spans more than four decades as it vividly recounts the universal loves, sorrows, and joys of women's lives.
