Description
So begins the tale of Ellen Foster, the brave and engaging heroine of Kaye Gibbons' first novel, which won the Sue Kaufman Prize from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. Wise, funny, affectionate and true, Ellen Foster is, as Walker Percy called it, "The real thing. Which is to say, a lovely, sometimes heart-wrenching novel...[Ellen Foster] is as much a part of the backwoods South as a Faulkner character, and a good deal more endearing."
Ce que les critiques en disent
- An Oprah Book Club Selection
"The story of a redoubtable girl who overcomes adversity with humor, spunk, and determination, Kaye Gibbons's first novel is a work of considerable subtlety and intellectual sophistication. A terrific book." (Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World)
"Filled with lively humor, compassion, and integrity...Ellen Foster may be the most trustworthy character in recent fiction." (Alice Hoffman, the New York Times Book Review)
