Synopsis
A teenager moves to a remote farm in the Catskill Mountains in 1931 to raise her late aunt's baby in this novel from "a writer of talent and vision" (San Francisco Chronicle).
Leenie is a precocious fifteen-year-old, but her hopes of going to college depend on her mother's scheme after a family tragedy. Leenie must travel to her late aunt's home and take care of her newborn cousin, lending support to the baby's grief-stricken father, Digger. As Leenie gradually, and with difficulty, grows into her new role, she and Digger form a surprising bond of affection. But the new love and community she's discovered are now at risk from New York City, which considers their remote, fertile valley a promising site for a future reservoir, and the ground under Leenie's feet could soon be swept away . . . Praise for Same Blood "Remarkable . . . Impressive." --Publishers Weekly "The Catskill Mountains are full of myth and mystery in this striking first novel." --The New York Times Book Review "Scenes that leap from the page and either wrench your heart or twist your guts." --Chicago TribuneLes informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
