Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Transporting us from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Southwest Virginia to the Italian Alps, New York City and the Tuscan countryside, Milk Glass Moon is the utterly enthralling story of a shifting mother daughter relationship. A daughter's first love, a mother's heartbreak, an enduring marriage facing its own ongoing challenges, and a community faced with seismic changes, all are deep at the heart of Adriana Trigiani's new novel. The third in her bestselling Big Stone Gap series, it continues the life story of Ave Maria as she faces the joys and demands of motherhood with her trademark humour and honesty. Reaching into the past to find answers to the present, Ave Maria is led to places she never dreamed she would go, and to people who enter her life and rock its foundation. MILK GLASS MOON is about the power of love and its abiding truth, and captures Trigiani at her most lyrical, affectionate and heartfelt. Quatrième de couverture Whether it's climbing on the roof, drinking cocktails or falling in love, daughters always think they know better than their mothers. For Ave Maria, anxiously watching Etta grow from a 12-year-old tom boy to a young woman, the hardest thing is admitting that sometimes, maybe they do. After all, does Ave Maria want her own life to be the pattern her daughter follows? She and Jack may be nearing fifty after fifteen years of marriage, but, as a fortune-teller warns Ave, life has a way of surprising you when you least expect it. It's not only Etta who is growing and changing, friends Ave has known all her life seem unexpectedly different. The handsome Pete Rutledge, for example, has a way of popping up that Ave finds unsettling, but hard to resist. And the curly-haired Italian boy who's working for Jack seems to have a similar effect on Etta. Loved by readers around the world for her honesty and rueful humour, Ave Maria's story continues in Milk Glass Moon - another triumph for the best-selling author Adriana Trigiani.
