$3.00 economy shipping in the U.S. (and only $1.00 for each additional book from this seller)! Little, Brown & Company, 2001. Ex-Library. Mass Market Paperback. Very Good. GREAT BOOK! LIGHTLY AGED, A FEW LIBRARY STAMPS & MODERATE WEAR ON COVER. Description: Astrid is the only child of a single mother, Ingrid, a brilliant, obsessed poet who wields her luminous beauty to intimidate and manipulate men. Astrid worships her mother and cherishes their private world full of ritual and mystery-but their idyll is shattered when Astrids mother falls apart over a lover. Deranged by rejection, Ingrid murders the man, and is sentenced to life in prison. White Oleander is the unforgettable story of Astrids journey through a series of foster homes and her efforts to find a place for herself in impossible circumstances. Each home is its own universe, with a new set of laws and lessons to be learned. With determination and humour, Astrid confronts the challenges of loneliness and poverty, and strives to learn who a motherless child in an indifferent world can be. Tough, irrepressible, funny, and warm, Astrid is one of the most indelible characters in recent fiction. White Oleander is an unforgettable story of mothers and daughters, burgeoning sexuality, the redemptive powers of art, and the unstoppable force of the emergent self. Written with exquisite beauty and grace, this is a compelling debut by an author poised to join the ranks of todays most gifted novelists. Praise for White Oleander: Fitchs book is a lovely piece of work. Her prose is ornate and her characters are vividly human a delicious debut. The Globe and Mail Fitch has spun a startling, compelling novel that deserves a wide audience. The Vancouver Sun It is rare to encounter a book so beautifully written or a tale so painful yet exquisitely told. The Edmonton Journal rich with imagery.... The National Post ISBN: 0316182540.
