Summary
Summary
When Glamour Day comes to the Klip-N-Kurl beauty parlor in tiny Lovettsville, Virginia, Tallie Brock sees her ticket to Hollywood and stardom. By turns funny and tender, joyous and poignant, bestselling author Anne LeClaire has written a winning, stylish novel of small-town Southern life—and what it means to be a mother, daughter, best friend, wife, and lover.Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Tallie is a likable, energetic character, a smart girl with dreams...Leaving Eden is a light, breezy novel about serious subjects. It’s eventful, with a lingering death, a murder, a secret revealed, to say nothing of a makeover.” —The Boston Globe
Tallie is an
endearing character, and the Southern banter of the ladies at the beauty
parlor where she works is pitch-perfect…LeClaire’s homey storytelling goes down easy. —Publishers Weekly
“Steele hits
the mark, bringing such life and believability to her portrayals of
characters and their emotions that each soon becomes someone we all
know. Steele mirrors LeClaire's writing by rendering even dramatic and
poignant situations in the low-key mode of real people dealing with
life's traumas. This combination of compelling story and skilled reader
is a laudable addition.” —AudioFile
“Saturated with death and loss yet
bursting with life, a beautiful, reflective meditation on friendship in
its many guises.” —Booklist
“A well-told coming-of-ager” —Kirkus
