Gibbons, Kaye Charms for the Easy Life
Morrow,William & Co 1993 0-380-72557-6 / 9780380725571 Trade Paperback Good+
spine is very lightly cocked. Women of grace and gumption bloom in the pages of Kaye Gibbons's fiction: The title character of Ellen Foster, her debut novel, was dubbed by Walker Percy "a southern Holden Caulfield." A Virtuous Woman prompted Reynolds Price to write, "Kaye Gibbons shows us the secret core of a love that easily outlasts death." And in A Cure for Dreams, wrote Josephine Humphreys, Gibbons "reveals how men's ways require [the] courage of women." In this, her fourth novel in six years, she gives life to her most passionate and tough-minded women yet:. Charlie Kate, out of nineteenth-century rural North Carolina, a self-proclaimed doctor who treats everything - leprosy, malaria, even lovesick blues - with her roots and herbs, and advises the adolescent girls she "caught" at birth that "kissing's fine, nothing more than uptown shopping on downtown business." Sophia, her daughter, who has inherited her mother's singular wisdom and will, putting them in service to her desire to control the world around her and land the man of her choice. Margaret, the narrator, Charlie Kate's granddaughter, whose struggle toward adulthood is complicated by the home-front demands of World War II and whose longing to defy heredity leads her to the happy discovery that for her, too, passion is the natural and most blessed gift. Here, in Charms for the Easy Life, a timeless story of three generations of fiery women, Kaye Gibbons proves once again that, as Elizabeth Spencer has said, "she knows how to speak to our hearts." Dallas Morning News Intelligent and extraordinary...to read this perfect novel is to feel its power as a charm against despair. New York Times An evocative and gracious novel...Ms. Gibbons has a natural gift for telling stories . .Charms for the Easy Life is a worthy addition to her impressive body of work. Chicago Tribune Charming ... delightful ... wonderfully peculiar. Southern Living A masterful job...Marvelous ... Colorful ...Engaging ... Unforgettable. Boston Globe Wonderfully visual...Gibbons's latest will delight fans who never askedher to change a thing, and attract new ones whoweren't heretofore at home in the rural Southof these pages ... Pull up a chair and smile.
