That tradition continues inA Cure for Dreams, a richly woven story that traces the bonds between four generations of Southern women through stories passed from mother to daughter to granddaughter. Gibbons shows us shrewd, resourceful women prevailing over hard times and heartless men and finding unexpected pleasures along the way: gossip, gambling, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing more than they're supposed to.媒体推荐"When it comes to hearing and replicating the way people speak, Kaye Gibbons has perfect pitch. . . .
