Pamela Duncan

    La narrativa di Pamela Duncan approfondisce la vita interiore delle donne, spesso ambientata nell'evocativo paesaggio della regione degli Appalachi. La sua prosa è caratterizzata da una qualità lirica e da una profonda comprensione della psiche umana, esplorando temi di identità, famiglia e appartenenza. Duncan fonde magistralmente il realismo con un tocco del mitico, creando narrazioni che sono sia intime che universalmente risonanti. La sua scrittura celebra la forza e la resilienza delle donne che navigano le complessità della vita con grazia e determinazione.

      In the lush North Carolina foothills, the Moon women have put down roots: matriarch Marvelle Moon, who’s losing her grip on the world after more than eighty years of life; her daughters, Ruth Ann and Cassandra; and Ruth Ann’s nineteen-year-old daughter, Ashley, fresh out of rehab, unmarried, and three months pregnant. Despite Ruth Ann’s best efforts to live a life that’s all her own, her family is coming together around her. Marvelle and Ashley need a place to live and Ruth Ann is unable to turn them away; and her womanizing ex-husband has been coming around again, dredging up the past. Now a flurry of outbursts, emotions, and outrages is shattering Ruth Ann’s separate peace. For here is Ashley, who has spent nineteen years running furiously away from home, now finding herself on a strange journey with her unraveling grandmother. And here is Cassandra, protected by layers of obesity and loneliness, wondering how to put magic back in her life. And Marvelle, slowly losing touch with reality, privately contemplating the story of her life and the secret that would change everything for everyone—if they only knew.... By turns fierce and tender, harrowing and heartbreaking, Moon Women resonates with emotional power, holding us captive under its beguiling spell.

      Plant Life
    • Charmant, temperamentvoll - und mit viel Herz! Cassandra kann ihr Glück kaum fassen - denn sie hat endlich gefunden, was sie sich so sehr gewünscht hat, wonach sie sich aber nie zu suchen traute: den perfekten Mann. Dennis, der Beerdigungsunternehmer, ist bedingungslos treu und liebt jedes Kilo zuviel auf ihren Hüften. Aber - das realisiert Cassandra leider erst am Tag ihrer Hochzeit - ist er nur ein guter Freund. Und das ist ihr zu wenig. Buchstäblich in letzter Minute nimmt sie Reißaus, im Brautkleid, am Steuer der Luxuslimousine und mit einem gehörigen Schwips. Als sie auf dem Weg zu ihrer Tante aber zu allem Unglück im Straßengraben landet, rettet sie ein mysteriöser Unbekannter, den Cassandra bald näher kennen lernen soll. Und der sich tatsächlich als Mr. Right entpuppt. Zumindest solange, bis Dennis wieder auf den Plan tritt, um Cassandra zurückzuerobern . Die Braut, die sich nicht traut, trifft auf Bridget Jones: Eine warmherzig erzählte Geschichte über Selbstfindung, Mr. Right und ein paar Kilos zu viel.
