| 內容簡介： |
During the long farewell of her mothers dying, Patricia Hampl
revisits her midwestern girlhood.Daughter of a debonair Czech
father, whose floral work gave him entre to St. Paul society, and a
distrustful Irishwoman with an uncanny ability to tell a tale,Hampl
remained, primarily and passionately, a daughter well into
adulthood. She traces the arc of faithfulness and struggle that
comes with that rolefrom the postwar years past the turbulent
sixties. At the heart of The Florists Daughter is the humble
passion of people who struggled out of the Depression into a better
chance, not only for themselves but for the common good.Widely
recognized as one of our most masterly memoirists, Patricia Hampl
has written an extraordinary memoir that is her most intimate, yet
most universal, work to date.This transporting work will resonate
with readers of Francine du Plessix Grays Them: A Memoir of Parents
and JeannetteWalls The Glass Castle.
