книга "Saving CeeCee Honeycutt" — Бэт ХофманSaving CeeCee Honeycutt. Двенадцатилетняя Си Си Ханикатт в беде. В течение многих лет она присматривала за ее психически больной матерью Камиллой, посмешищем всего города. Но когда Камиллу сбивает грузовик и погибает, СиСи должны остается заботиться только о себе. На помощь приходит ее ранее неизвестная двоюродная бабушка.
Twelve-year-old CeeCee Honeycutt is in trouble. For years, she has been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille, the laughingstock of an entire town, a woman trapped in her long-ago moment of glory as the 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen. But when Camille is hit by a truck and killed, CeeCee is left to fend for herself. To the rescue comes her previously unknown great-aunt, Tootie Caldwell. Tootie whisks CeeCee away to Savannah's perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricity, a world that seems to be run entirely by women. From the exotic Miz Thelma Rae Goodpepper, who bathes in her backyard bathtub, to Tootie's all-knowing housekeeper, Oletta Jones, to Violene Hobbs, who entertains a local police officer in her canary-yellow peignoir, the women of Gaston Street entertain and enthrall for an entire summer. Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, Beth Hoffman's sparkling debut explores the indomitable strengths of female friendship through the story of a young girl who loses one mother but finds many others. |
