Description

Everywhere hailed as being a book of uncommon elegance and energy, White Oleander tells the unforgettable story of Ingrid, an excellent poet jailed for killing, and her daughter, Astrid, whose odyssey via a number of L A foster homes-each its own universe, with its own laws, its own problems, its own hard lessons to be learned-becomes a redeeming and astonishing voyage of self-development.
