When I was the same age as Susie Schnitzer, the protagonist, I read this book over and over. I identified strongly with Susie's moral stance and loved the idea of a secret room all my own. Now I recognize the novel's many flaws, but it is a fascinating period piece. The edition I have (from 2012) has a scholarly introduction so someone must be looking at Arnow's work. She is, of course, best known for her book, The Dollmaker. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
The Weedkiller's daughter is set primarily in a Detroit suburb, ironically named Eden Hills, a place of manicured lawns tightly controlled with pesticides. Outside of town, the fields and ponds of a neighbor, Mrs. Nevels (or The Primitive, as she is called), are closer to Eden. She lives alone in the country, has a big garden, makes wine, and befriends Susie and her circle of friends. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
