A Cure for Dreams

0/5 ( ratings)

In her novels Ellen Foster and A Virtuous Woman, Kaye Gibbons compiled what one critic has called "a fictional oral history of female wishes [and] hopes." That tradition continues in A Cure for Dreams, a richly woven story that traces the bonds between four generations of Southern women through stories passed from mother to daughter to granddaughter. Gibbons shows us shrewd, resourceful women prevailing over hard times and heartless men and finding unexpected pleasures along the way: gossip, gambling, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing more than they're supposed to.

Language: English

Pages: 192

Format: Paperback

Release: January 03, 1991
