Colette Sidonie-Gabrielle: My Mothers House and Sido

My Mothers House and Sido


Description

In "My Mother's House" and "Sido," Colette plays fictional variations on the themes of childhood, family, and, above all, her mother. Vividly alive, fond of cities, music, theater, and books, Sido devoted herself to her village, Saint-Saveur; to her garden, with its inhabitants and its animals; and, especially, to her children, particularly her youngest, whom she called Minet-Cheri. Unlike "Gigi" and "Cheri," which focus largely on sexual love and its repercussions, "My Mother's House" and "Sido "center on the compelling figure of a powerful, nurturing woman in late-nineteenth-century rural France, conveying the impact she had on her community and on her daughter -- who grew up to be a great writer."

Sarah Crowe left Atlanta to live alone in an old house in rural Rhode Island. Within its walls she discovers an unfinished manuscript written by the house's former tenant-an anthropologist obsessed with the ancient oak growing on the property. And as the gnarled tree takes root in her imagination, Sarah risks everything to unearth a revelation planted centuries ago... From New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks comes a thrilling stand-alone novel in his legendary Shannara series—the perfect place for new readers to begin. Follow the humorous mishaps of a second grader who is learning to read. Nothing's going right for Ronald he drops his pencils, inadvertently squirts water on Joy s dress, mistakenly eats Jimmy s sandwich, misses the ball during recess, loses his ice cream money, and drops Miss Tyler s plant. But his teacher helps him get over his bad day with a confidence boosting note. "Giff cleverly circumvents what could be a humdrum conclusion in a witty, satisfying My Mothers House and Sido ebook pdf way. Ronald s growing frustrations are wonderfully captured in the woebegone expressions and childlike stances that Natti effectively balances with happy scenes of success. Booklist"
