| | | Annotation:
Rebecca Wells is best known for her bestselling and celebrated novels of the "Ya-Ya Sisterhood," but with THE CROWNING GLORY OF CALLA LILY PONDER she introduces her fans to a new set of remarkable characters. At the center of this coming-of-age tale is the precocious and sassy young Calla Lily, a Louisiana girl raised by a loving mother. After a series of misfortunes, Calla Lily travels to "The Big Easy" where she re-encounters her childhood beau, Tuck, and grows into a dynamic woman, a heroine full of life, love, and Southern wisdom. The melodramatic arcs of heartbreak, tragedy, loss, and redemption are enhanced by Wells's (and Calla Lily's) sense of humor and big-hearted philosophy.
| Praise| "[T]he author's strength lies in her ability to articulate the profound relationship between women, whether they're bonds formed by blood or by friendship. The wisdom they share can be...rapturous....Wells has written THE CROWNING GLORY OF CALL LILY PONDER with as much heart as that of her heroine..." - Ellen Kanner 07/26/2009 "[T]here's something down-to-earth and comforting about this novel....I think the audience for this good-hearted, wishful-thinking book is probably young mothers, staying home with their kids, beginning to feel the existential loneliness sink in and striving to make the best of the hands life has dealt. For them, being told to turn up the boombox and dance in the moonlight, trusting that life is basically good, may be sound advice indeed." - Carolyn See 07/24/2009 |
