Описание:
A haunting, suspenseful literary debut that combines a classic coming of age story with a portrait of a fractured American family dealing with the fallout of one summer evening gone terribly wrong.
"The night we left Ellen on the road, we drove up the mountain in silence."
It is the early 1980s and fifteen-year-old Libby is obsessed with The Field Guide to the Trees of North America, a gift her Irish immigrant father gave her before he died. She finds solace in "The Kingdom," a stand of red oak and thick mountain laurel near her home in suburban Pennsylvania, where she can escape from her large and unruly family and share menthol cigarettes and lukewarm beers with her best friend.
One night, while driving home, Libby's mother, exhausted and overwhelmed with the fighting in the backseat, pulls over and orders Libby's little sister Ellen to walk home. What none of this family knows as they drive off leaving a twelve-year-old girl on the side of the road five miles from home with darkness closing in, is what will happen next.
A Crooked Tree is a surprising, indelible novel, both a poignant portrayal of an unmoored childhood giving way to adolescence, and a gripping tale about the unexpected reverberations of one rash act.
--Liz Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Long Bright River

Описание: Ignoring the protests of her other children, she accelerates away, leaving Ellen standing on the gravel verge in her school pinafore and knee socks as the light fades. What would you do as you watch your little sister getting smaller in the rear view window?
Once upon a time, three witches met - entirely by chance - at a writing conference in Geneva. They had not much in common, apart from their love of the written word. Three generations, three nationalities, three wildly different characters, they nonetheless recognized each other immediately and formed a bond of friendship that transcended those differences.
Walburga Appleseed (The Virgin), Laurie Delarue-Theurer (The Mother), and Joy Mann (The Crone) have been writing sisters ever since, infusing their vast and varied experiences into their writing. This magical book is a testament to their talents, and to their friendship.
A percentage of each copy sold supports women with "Bridges To Belarus" - a charity supporting families affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
