A Wilder Rose
Autor Susan Wittig Alberten Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 mar 2015
The Little House books, which chronicled the pioneer adventures of Laura Ingalls Wilder, are among the most beloved books in the American literary canon. Lesser known is the secret, concealed for decades, of how they came to be. Now, bestselling author Susan Wittig Albert reimagines the fascinating story of Laura s daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, an intrepid world traveler and writer who returned to her parents Ozark farm, Rocky Ridge, in 1928. There she began a collaboration with her mother on the pioneer stories that would captivate generations of readers around the world.
Despite the books success, Rose s involvement would remain a secret long after both women died. A vivid account of a great literary deception, "A Wilder Rose" is a spellbinding tale of a complicated mother-daughter relationship set against the brutal backdrop of the Great Depression.
