Mrs. Longstreet

Viac o knihe

THE ACCIDENTAL GROUNDING OF A HUGE WASHINGTON STATE FERRY BEGINS A VOYAGE THROUGH INTERWOVEN PATHS OF INSIDIOUS PASSENGERS, CORRUPT LAWYERS AND TWO BEAUTIFUL WOMEN: ONE DEMENTED, POWERFUL AND RECKLESS, THE OTHER IMPASSIONED BUT ENTIRELY CONFUSED AND TRAGICALLY ENTANGLED WITH AN UNLIKELY BANK ROBBER. A RICHLY COMIC MASTERPIECE, A KIND OF AMERICAN TRADGEDY. LONDON LOVES HIS CHARACTERS BUT SPARES THEM NOTHING. HE TAKES THEM FROM THE WILDS OF ALASKA TO THE GRIT OF UPSCALE SEATTLE, LEAVING EVERYONE SPITTING COTTON. MRS. LONGSTREET CRACKLES WITH HUMOR, INTELLIGENCE AND STYLE. AN OUTRAGEOUSLY FUNNY, UNFORGETTABLE DEBUT. ONE OF THE MOST LIKABLE LITERARY VOICES TO EMERGE IN YEARS.
