Recherché et écrit par la grand-nièce de Tula Pendleton, ce livre découvre la vie remarquable de l'auteur historique du Sud avec empathie et perspicacité. Il recueille également, pour la première fois, toutes ses histoires existantes, donnant aux nouvelles générations la chance de découvrir le corps de l'œuvre de Pendleton.
Tula Pendleton était la belle de sa petite ville natale du Kentucky lorsqu'elle a épousé Holmes Cummins Jr., un jeune dirigeant d'assurance montant, en 1894. Lorsque les enfants attendus ne sont jamais venus, Tula s'est tournée vers l'écriture de courtes fictions, publiant des histoires dans des magazines américains populaires. Sa gamme en tant qu'auteur était impressionnante, des romances et des drames médicaux aux contes vraiment obsédants de l'étrange. Elle a également écrit des histoires charmantes de la vie de petite ville qui abordaient les plaisirs, le confort et les piqûres de la vie dans une communauté rurale.
Les histoires de Tula ont été bien reçues, mais au fur et à mesure que sa carrière d'écriture s'épanouissait, le couple a lutté avec des problèmes familiaux, de santé et financiers. En 1924, ils ont mené un pacte de suicide, un événement couvert par plus de 120 journaux américains à l'époque. Peu de temps après, toutefois, Tula et son travail ont été oubliés.
Comprend 8 pages de photos en couleur.

Barbara Pendleton Jones, great-niece of Tula Pendleton Cummins, grew up hearing only the barest account of Tula's career as a writer and her tragic death. When she set out to learn more about her great-aunt, she had only two of Tula's letters and fragments of her family history. By piecing together Tula's genealogy, finding her published stories, locating letters and newspaper articles in archives, and retracing Tula's steps across much of the South, Jonesa retired psychologist and psychoanalysthas crafted a moving and illuminating portrait of her extraordinary relative. Tula Pendleton was the belle of her small Kentucky hometown when she married Holmes Cummins Jr., a rising young insurance executive, in 1894. When the expected children never came, Tula turned her hand to writing short fiction, publishing stories in popular American magazines. Her range as an author was impressive, from romances and medical dramas to truly haunting tales of the uncanny. She also wrote charming stories of small-town life that addressed the pleasures, comforts, and stings of life in a rural community. Tula's stories were well received, but as her writing career blossomed, the couple struggled with family, health, and financial troubles. In 1924, they carried out a suicide pact, an event covered by more than 120 American newspapers at the time. Soon after, though, both Tula and her work were forgotten. This volume, researched and written by Tula's great-niece, relates with empathy and insight the remarkable story of Tula's life. It also collects, for the first time, all of her extant stories, giving new generations the chance to discover the work of this extraordinary Southern writer. N° de réf. du vendeur 90782
