As Astrid bumps from trailer park to tract house to Hollywood bungalow, White Oleander uncoils her existential anxieties. "Who was I, really?" she asks. "I was the sole occupant of my mother"s totalitarian state, my own personal history rewritten to fit the story she was telling that day. There were so many missing pieces." Fitch adroitly leads Astrid down a path of sorting out her past and identity. In the process, this girl develops a wire-tight inner strength, gains her mother"s white-blonde beauty, and achieves some measure of control over their relationship. Even from prison, Ingrid tries to mold her daughter. Foiling her, Astrid learns about tenderness from one foster mother and how to stand up for herself from another. Like the weather in Los Angeles - the winds of the Santa Anas, the scorching heat - Astrid"s teenage life is intense. Fitch"s novel deftly displays that, and also makes Astrid"s life meaningful. Обо всём этом и не только в книге White Oleander (Janet Fitch)

Случайная цитата из произведений писателя:
«Her white hair was like silk. Beauty was my mother's law, her religion: you could do anything you wanted if you were beautiful, if you did things beautifully. If you weren't beautiful, you just didn't exist. She had planted this idea into my mind when I was small, but by now I had already learned that it wasn't true.» (Janet Fitch)
