Synopsis

A secret closet full of candy. Books that won't go away. And three women with more in common than they think ...Josey, at 27, still lives at home with her elderly mother. She doesn't go out except to do chores for her mother, she doesn't wear clothes that her mother says don't suit her, and she eats, secretly, as a substitute for the life she's not living. One morning she wakes up to find frost on the inside of her window, which is mysteriously open. When she goes to her closet to raid her secret stash of sweets, she finds a woman sitting in it. Della Lee, on the run from something in her own life, takes up residence in Josey's closet; Josey, in her determination to get this madwoman out of her closet, finds herself finding a life -- and a new friend, in the shape of Chloe, who runs the most delicious sandwich bar in the world at the local courthouse, and who's also someone adrift in her life ...

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

'I'm the product of a newspaper man and a disowned debutante! My dad is a retired journalist and award-winning columnist. He's the reason I became a writer. Mom was the perfect wife. She wore elbow length gloves and had a bouffant. Then, when she turned fifty, she dyed her hair red and had her nose pierced. I call her the Disowned Debutante. I have one sister named Sydney, the name of one of the sisters in Garden Spells. It was the job of my elegant great-aunt Charlotte to shape me and my sister into something proper. From a very early age we were instructed in the fine art of table place settings and napkin folding. She taught us that fingernail polish was always clear, and women never pumped their own gas. Sydney and I tried, we really did. But we're the daughters of the Disowned Debutante. We can't help ourselves.' Sarah Addison Allen lives in the American south, where THE SUGAR QUEEN is set.
