Produktinformationen zu „Girls in Trucks “
In the tradition of Melissa Bank of The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing, this brilliant bestseller now in paperback follows a Southern girl as she travels to the Big Apple and back home again, with all the bumpy milestones in between. Sarah Walters and her group of displaced deb sisters try to define themselves within the realities of modern life in New York City. Heartbreak, addiction, disappointing jobs and death fail to live up to the hazy, happy future promised to them by their mothers and sisters.
Klappentext zu „Girls in Trucks “
Sarah Walters is a less-than-perfect debutante. She tries hard to follow the time-honored customs of the Charleston Camellia Society, as her mother and grandmother did, standing up straight in cotillion class and attending lectures about all the things that Camellias don't do. (Like ride with boys in pickup trucks.)But Sarah can't quite ignore the barbarism just beneath all that propriety, and as soon as she can she decamps South Carolina for a life in New York City. There, she and her fellow displaced Southern friends try to make sense of city sophistication, to understand how much of their training applies to real life, and how much to the strange and rarefied world they've left behind.
When life'
s complications become overwhelming, Sarah returns home to confront with matured eyes the motto "Once a Camellia, always a Camellia" -- and to see how much fuller life can be, for good and for ill, among those who know you best.
Girls in Trucks introduces an irresistable, sweet, and wise voice that heralds the arrival of an exciting new talent.
