Jane Smiley
Christmas, 1857. America's future is precarious; civil war looms on the horizon. After her abolitionist husband is murdered in the lawless Kansas Territory, Lidie Newton returns, in mourning, to her hometown of Quincy, Illinois. But her sisters have little comfort to offer, and Lidie is haunted by the memories of her failures—until she takes an interest in her niece, Annie. Beautiful, self-assured, and mischievous, Annie sticks out in Quincy. She becomes an actress at the local theater, and when she is offered the opportunity to perform abroad, she decides to run away. But travel is dangerous for a young unmarried woman, so Lidie, armed with her pistol and her wit, goes with her.
The two women embark on a perilous journey across the Atlantic, rushing toward an unknown future in England. Once they arrive in Liverpool, they vanish into new roles in the household of Annie's benefactor, Mr. Mallory Cunningham. Annie takes a stage name and finds her way to a career, while Lidie becomes her lady's maid. But will either of them be content with her new lot in life?
Exuberant and riveting, a sly commentary on truth and beauty and fulfillment that resonates with our times, Lidie delivers a panoramic portrait of a volatile era and the headstrong women trying to live an honest life in it.
Reseñas de la crítica
“Smiley is adept at portraying a world that seems at once immediate and remote. . . . I hope Smiley follows Lidie a thousand miles more.” —Boston Globe
“In this Lidie Newton sequel, narrated in a voice so authentic you’re certain she’s speaking only to you, Smiley takes us on Lidie’s journey from being a young widow in pre-Civil War Kansas to her endeavor to be a free-spirited woman in England. At every turn, we are reminded that Jane Smiley is more than an extraordinary writer—she’s a sculptor who carves out unforgettable characters who live and breathe her stories.” —Victoria Zackheim, author of The Curtain Falls in Paris and Death Times Seven
“Readers will welcome the chance to spend more time with Lidie, the people she meets, and her incredibly drawn world.” —Library Journal
