Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Like her first two award-winning novels (Ellen Foster and A Virtuous Woman), A Cure for Dreams is set in the rural and small-town South and draws richly upon the author's ear for comic turns of phrase and her sure grasp of the humor, pathos, and dignity of supposedly ordinary people. The determination of the women of the story to assert themselves in confining, dependent situations makes for uplifting, enjoyable reading. Artikel-Nr. 00068981001
