Little Altars Everywhere: A Novel de Rebecca Wells

Little Altars Everywhere: A Novel: The Ya-Ya Series

Autor Rebecca Wells
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 feb 2005
“Brilliant. . . . A structural tour de force. . . . A classic Southern tale of dysfunctional and marginal madness. The author’s gift for giving life to so many voices leaves the reader profoundly moved.”— Seattle Weekly
The companion novel to Rebecca Wells’s celebrated #1 New York Times bestseller Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
Who can resist the rich cadences of Sidda Walker and her flamboyant, secretive mother, Vivi? Here, the young Sidda—a precocious reader and an eloquent observer of the fault lines that divide her family—leads us into her mischievous adventures at Our Lady of Divine Compassion parochial school and beyond. A Catholic girl of pristine manners, devotion, and provocative ideas, Sidda is the very essence of childhood joy and sorrow.
Little Altars Everywhere is an insightful, piercing, and unflinching evocation of childhood, a loving tribute to the transformative power of faith, and a thoroughly fresh chronicle of a family that is as haunted as it is blessed.

Recenzii

“A brilliant piece of work...a structural tour de force...a classic Southern tale of dysfunctional and marginal madness. The author’s gift for giving life to so many voices leaves the reader profoundly moved.” — Seattle Weekly
“A gem of a book....Wells offers a virtuoso performance.” — Denver Post
“Energetic and delicious…each voice is unique, independent and right on.” — Seattle Times
“A hilarious and heartbreaking first novel.” — Booklist
“Rebecca Wells has written a funny, eloquent and sad novel that easily leaps regional bounds.” — Washington Post
“At the Walker family altar, sainthood is a one-way ticket to purgatory, and getting there is half the fun.” — Columbus Dispatch
“Rarely do you find a first novel of such power. The author’s strange, arresting combination of colloquialism and poetry flows from her eight characters with a force so strong you savor each sentence.” — Southern Living
“Wells’ people pop with life.” — Kirkus Reviews
“Wells effectively juxtaposes the innocence and joy of childhood reveries with the pain and guilt of adult memories.” — Richmond Times-Dispatch
