Description:
Watergate is breaking news, but at the Prairie Bluff boarding ì
house in rural Illinois, there are more immediate concerns . . . ì
Emma Bovary has arrived unannounced - and distraught - and ì
Anne-Marie and her daughter Penny have wrenched themselves from ì
the television coverage to attend to their new guest. But if ì
there's one rule at Prairie Bluff, it's never meddle in the lives ì
of the Heroines, however cruel the destinies to which they are ì
bound. There's nothing to be done for poor Emma, immersed in her ì
narrative crisis, save for the provision of tea, a tirelessly ì
sympathetic ear, and clean linens . . . Adolescent angst isn't a ì
patch on beautiful and grief-stricken - and Penny, a moody ì
thirteen, knows she's no competition for her mother's attention ì
against these ethereal creatures. Hurt and excluded, and ì
frustrated by her mother's passivity in the face of Emma's ì
terrible fate, Penny strikes out across the prairie to cool her ì
hot head. But when she arrives at the forbidden woods, she's in ì
no mood to obey her mother's second rule, "never to enter" - and ì
soon finds herself in a world of very real heroes and villains, ì
an unwilling heroine in her own terrifying story . . .
