The apartment door closed behind them with a thud. Floss tugged at the elastic band on her sailor hat. Estelle gave a hitch to her garter belt and took her sister's hand. "Come on, Flossie. Daddy's waiting. Hold tight to the bannister."They walked slowly down the stairs, two hostages crossing the no man's land between their mother's world and their father's. Floss was five years old. Her hair was still baby-blond and her cheeks were as round and smooth as apples. Estelle had just turned nine. Small for her age, skinny, knobby-kneed, wary, she sighed as she pushed the street door open, thinking of the long day ahead of her.Their father didn't smile at them. His handsome face under the pearl gray fedora seemed always to be scowling. Estelle read his expression as disapproval, unable to imagine that this weekly ritual could be humiliating for him, too

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seeking self-fulfillment as an artist, Lila Brandt flees her abusive husband, Aaron, and moves to Greenwich Village in the 1930's with her two young daughters. On Aaron's Sunday visits, Estelle, aged nine, guides five-year-old Floss across the no-man's-land between their warring parents.A devoted but impractical mother, Lila faces obstacles with courage, optimism, and a gift for sugar-coating reality. A job on the WPA Art Project brings her dream within reach. Alienated by Aaron's vindictive behavior, the girls make friends with Bill Dobbs. His departure for Spain with the Lincoln Brigade leaves them and Lila bereft.Julio Delgado, a constant visitor-and like Lila, a newly-unemployed mural artist-seduces her with talk of a life in art while warring with Floss and Estelle. Made desperate by many personal losses and fearful of the future, Lila makes an impulsive decision that has devastating consequences for both her and her daughters.Estelle's college sweetheart, Barry Gabriel, has gone off to war. She must be both mother and father to Floss as they struggle to survive. Years later, their story comes full circle. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780595406289
