Sobre este artículo
Orlando: Harcourt, Inc., 2003. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. Signed by the author without inscription on a Chinaberry bookplate affixed to the front free-endpaper. Tan and green paper over boards - hardcover 1st printing in dustjacket. A very good copy with a pencilled X to the bottom of the text block edge, and bending/wear at the extremeties of the spine being the only notable flaws. A clean, straight, and solid copy. The unclipped jacket is also very good with minor matching wear at the spine panel edges. 389 pp., brief bibliography at rear. From the abstract, "In 1906, sixteen-year-old Mattie, determined to attend college and be a writer against the wishes of her father and fiance, takes a job at a summer inn where she discovers the truth about the death of a guest."
Sinopsis
Mattie Gokey has a word for everything. She collects words, stores them up as a way of fending off the hard truths of her life, the truths that she can't write down in stories. The fresh pain of her mother's death. The burden of raising her sisters while her father struggles over his brokeback farm. The mad welter of feelings Mattie has for handsome but dull Royal Loomis, who says he wants to marry her. And the secret dreams that keep her going--visions of finishing high school, going to college in New York City, becoming a writer. Yet when the drowned body of a young woman turns up at the hotel where Mattie works, all her words are useless. But in the dead woman's letters, Mattie again finds her voice, and a determination to live her own life. Set in 1906 against the backdrop of the murder that inspired Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy, this coming-of-age novel effortlessly weaves romance, history, and a murder mystery into something moving, and real, and wholly original.
