Listeners should not expect dramatic crises but a compelling and searing story about resilience, community, and the enduring bonds of family. Sands will have listeners hanging on to her every gently narrated word. Recommended for fans of Douglas Stuart’s Shuggie Bain or Mary Beth Keane’s Ask Again, Yes.
In this sensitively rendered bildungsroman, Simpson (My Hollywood) recalls authentic, detailed memories of childhood in writing this clever, insightful, and at times hilarious story about family, friendship, and love in all its complex iterations. A great choice for teens and adults to read together and discuss. [See Prepub Alert, 10/14/13.]
Recommended for fans of Simpson's and for readers intrigued by the rich but unseen lives of the domestic class à la Gosford Park. [See Prepub Alert, LJ 3/1/10.]
