Produktinformationen zu „Real Minerva (ePub)“
A "memorable [and] entertaining" novel of three strong women in 1920s small-town Minnesota by the author of Revelations (The Washington Post Book World).
Winner of the Willa Literary Award
Finalist for the Minnesota Book Award
In a Midwestern farming community in 1923, as book-loving Penny enters adolescence, her mother, Barbara, pulls her out of school to send her to work. Destined to become a cleaning woman like her mother, Penny sees no escape from her bleak existence-until a scandalous figure arrives in the town of Minerva, Minnesota: Cora, very pregnant, very headstrong, and very alone, has come to make a home on her grandfather's farm.
Intrigued by this curious new resident, Penny sets out to work for Cora, setting into motion events that will change multiple lives. Drawing on her mother's and grandmother's stories of Minnesota farm life in the early twentieth century, acclaimed author Mary Sharratt has created a suspenseful and moving novel about the strength of women and the unexpected friendships that form between them.
"A paean to the bond between mothers and daughters... engrossing." -Booklist
"Wonderful." -Caroline Leavitt, New York Times-bestselling author of With or Without You
