The subject of Rattlebone is a black community north of Kansas City in the 1950s. I liked this book, and recommend it. ( ) Rattlebone is a well written, engaging story about a woman's journey from childhood through adolescence. Maxine Clair captures all the trials and tribulations of the universal stepping stones of growing up - friendships, family, puberty, love and sex. Interspersed throughout are chapters from the point of view of other Rattlebone town members, allowing the reader to get a clearer view of the events around town, especially having to do with the world of adults that so often mirrors the awkwardness and impulsiveness of the children they take care of. Well written, smart and entertaining, Rattlebone is a wonderful novel by a writer that I'm surprised not to have heard of sooner. Taking place during the time period of Brown v. Board of Education in a small town in Kansas, it gives a look into the mind of a town that is just trying to survive in life in all that it encompasses - love, grief, temptation, struggle, and the meaning of family and self. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Too long unavailable, this luminous classic of small-town life in the segregated 1950s has "magic dust sprinkled over each and every page" (Veronica Chambers, New York Times Book Review). Irene Wilson knows that a "no-name invisible something" has settled over her parents' marriage and suspects her glamorous new teacher is to blame. Irene is not alone in her suspicions. In the town of Rattlebone, a small Black neighborhood of Kansas City, secrets are hard to keep and growing up is a community affair. As Irene is initiated into adult passion and loss, her family story takes its place in a tightly woven tapestry of neighbors whose griefs and joys are as vivid as her own. Capturing an entire world through the eyes of its unforgettable heroine, Rattlebone is a one-of-a-kind triumph of American fiction. .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
