Book Synopsis My Old Sweetheart by : Susanna Moore
Download or read book My Old Sweetheart written by Susanna Moore and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1997-07-29 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Susanna Moore's novel astonished me--one of those brilliant objects that come along only rarely, all light on clear water, and then one realizes the faster currents underneath, the terrible swiftness of sex and time. " --Joan Didion In this mesmerizing novel, Susanna Moore displays a naturalist's eye for the landscape of her native Hawaii and an uncanny sensitivity to the despairing love between mothers and daughters. Lily Shields grows up amid the fragrance of night-jasmine and burning sugar cane, and the heady atmosphere of her mother's madness. For if Anna Shields is an island unto herself--fragile, glamorous, and fearfully needy--Lily is the bridge that connects her to reality. But now Lily is a young woman and a mother herself, self-exiled from Hawaii but still attached to Anna's tragedy. And as she tries to untangle those threads of love and loyalty, Moore gives us a novel of shimmering beauty and sadness. My Old Sweetheart is a small classic, perfectly formed and mysteriously wise. "Susanna Moore is a gifted and compelling novelist . . . in possession of her own unique voice." --The New York Times Book Review "I can't recall another novel like this about mothers and daughters. . . . Lily's mysterious, half-told tale delighted and touched me." --Susan Lydon, Village Voice

Download or read book Ila's War written by Cindy Entriken and published by Cindy Entriken. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ila's War is the true story of the first 30 years of Ila Armsbury's life. Hers is the story of an ordinary Kansan-an "every woman"-who aspired for more than the traditional roles of wife and mother. The book is set in the 1920s through the 1940s. Some of Ila's stories are frightening while others are humorous or heart-breaking. But they're all true and inspirational because they show a young woman determined to take control of her own life to achieve her goals: education, service, travel, and a family. Ila's stories include a confrontation with the Ku Klux Klan in Lincoln, Kansas; the arrest of her father on a charge of white slavery in Russell County; the havoc of dust storms during the Dirty 30s; and the crippling of five Lincoln men, part of a group of 50,000 Americans who drank adulterated Jamaica Ginger. Another story about working as an obstetrics nurse in the Kansas City, Kansas, slums in the late 1930s demonstrates some of the changes in medical practice over the last several decades. In addition to detailed and colorful stories of Kansas history, Ila's War tells of her experiences as a US Army nurse with the 155th Station Hospital at Camp Cable, Australia; about the horrors of battle on New Guinea; how Camp Cable was overwhelmed when more than 2,000 US Marines-all sick with malaria-were evacuated from Guadalcanal just before Christmas 1942; about Ila's successful fight with an Army Board of Disposition to stay in the Army Nurse Corps; and about Ila's struggle with post-traumatic stress disorder after the war. While some readers may see Ila's War as a coming-of-age tale, its real power lies in her triumph over the adversities of poverty, prejudice, betrayal, and war. Ila represents strong Kansas women, and she will serve as a role model for all of us living through difficult times.
