Well written, though. ( ) Dena Nordstrom, una joven entrevistadora de televisión, ha llegado al estrellato y goza de gran prestigio, pero su vida personal está muy lejos de ser satisfactoria. Cuando regresa a pasar una temporada con su familia en Elmwood Springs, un pequeño pueblo de Misouri, para curarse de una úlcera provocada por la intensa actividad laboral, Dena se reencuentra con sus viejos amigos y vecinos de la infancia. I first saw this book on a list of "Gentle Reads" at my local library. I don't think it is. It's got a lot to say about racism, prejudice, addiction, anxiety, family problems, etc. And the end-all argument is mostly good. The relationship between the main character and her eventual object of affection was quite realistic (which I appreciated). Flagg does a nice job weaving things together and modernly setting us up for the eventual reveals. But they didn't need to couch it all in language that my grandmother would find offensive. Which is probably why I won't pick up another one in the series. Which I'm kinda bummed about, because much good is said of this particular author, both in the critical community and by Dick van Dyke (who apparently used to work with her when she did television). I wonder if all the television stuff in this novel is based on real life.... I enjoyed this book much more than Fried Green Tomatoes. I would recommend this. Dena Nordstrom’s life is out of control. She is drinking too much, cannot maintain a relationship and it is affecting her health. Dena is beautiful and has a high powered job as a TV personality. She goes into therapy. As the therapist pushes, she learns Deana’s mother, Marian Chapman abandoned her at age 15. As Dena digs deeper into her past, she finds out Marian Chapman did not exist. Who was her mother? Why did she leave Dena alone? What happened to her? ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
