This novel alternates between the perspective of Laura Kelley, a fictional young woman who has a child out of wedlock in a small town, and a fictionalized version of Edna St. Vincent Millay, a wealthy poet who lives on a nearby estate. Laura and Edna's paths eventually cross and the two women develop a tentative relationship that allows them both to learn about themselves. An interesting novel that makes for an enjoyable read. ( ) I have to say that I really liked this book. It's the first that I've read by Erika Robuck but it won't be my last. She spins a wonderful tale that revolves around an unwed mother in an unforgiving town and the literary powerhouse Edna St. Vincent Millay. Laura is a seamstress who creates art in her clothing designs. Millay is in desperate need of a new muse. The result is memorable and quite satisfying. I will be recommending this book to anyone who loves historical fiction. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Upstate New York, 1928. Laura Kelley and the man she loves sneak away from their judgmental town to attend a performance of the scandalous Ziegfeld Follies. But the dark consequences of their night of daring and delight reach far into the future.... That same evening, Bohemian poet Edna St. Vincent Millay and her indulgent husband hold a wild party in their remote mountain estate, hoping to inspire her muse. Millay declares her wish for a new lover who will take her to unparalleled heights of passion and poetry, but for the first time, the man who responds will not bend completely to her will.... Two years later, Laura, an unwed seamstress struggling to support her daughter, and Millay, a woman fighting the passage of time, work together secretly to create costumes for Millay's next grand tour. As their complex, often uneasy friendship develops amid growing local condemnation, each woman is forced to confront what it means to be a fallen woman...and to decide for herself what price she is willing to pay to live a full life"-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
