15 August 2006

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

From the author of the ""heartfelt""
* and ""engrossing""
*
* debut novel Carry Me Home comes a sweet and sharply-drawn story of two young girls living in a world of their imagination while lives around them are thrown into disarray.

Wisconsin, 1961. Evelyn ""Button"" Peters is nine the summer Winnalee and her fiery-spirited older sister, Freeda, blow into her small town-and from the moment she sees them, Button knows this will be a summer unlike any other.

Much to her mother's dismay, Button is fascinated by the Malone sisters, especially Winnalee, a feisty scrap of a thing who carries around a shiny silver urn containing her mother's ashes and a tome she calls ""The Book of Bright Ideas."" It is here, Winnalee tells Button, that she records everything she learns- her answers to the

mysteries of life. But sometimes those mysteries conceal a truth better left buried. And when a devastating secret is suddenly revealed, dividing loyalties and uprooting lives, no one-from Winnalee and her sister to Button and her family-will ever be the same.
