The Silver Star
de Walls, Jeannette
The Silver Star,
Jeannette Walls
has written a heartbreaking and redemptive novel about an intrepid girl who
challenges the injustice of the adult worldâÈ'a triumph of imagination and
storytelling.
IT IS 1970 in a small town in California. âÈêBeanâÈë
Holladay is twelve and her sister, Liz, is fifteen when their artistic mother,
Charlotte, a woman who âÈêfound something wrong with every place she ever lived,âÈë
takes off to find herself, leaving her girls enough money to last a month or
two. When Bean returns from school one day and sees a police car outside the
house, she and Liz decide to take the bus to Virginia, where their Uncle
Tinsley lives in the decaying mansion thatâÈçs been in CharlotteâÈçs family for
generations.
An
impetuous optimist, Bean soon discovers who her father was, and hears many
stories about why their mother left Virginia in the first place. Because money
is tight, Liz and Bean start babysitting and doing office work for Jerry
Maddox, foreman of the mill in townâÈ'a big man who bullies his workers, his
tenants, his children, and his wife. Bean adores her whip-smart older
sisterâÈ'inventor of word games, reader of Edgar Allan Poe, nonconformist. But
when school starts in the fall, itâÈçs Bean who easily adjusts and makes friends,
and Liz who becomes increasingly withdrawn. And then something happens to Liz.
Jeannette
Walls, supremely alert to abuse of adult power, has written a deeply moving
novel about triumph over adversity and about people who find a way to love each
other and the world, despite its flaws and injustices.
