Summary
A coming of age memoir about growing up in Lewiston, New York, in the 1950's. Though told with humour, the author underscores the dark side of what at first seems a Norman Rockwell existence. Her reminiscences include stories about her… mother - with her intellectual preoccupations and aversion to housework and visiting neighbours, she is an emblem of prefeminist frustration, and Hollywood - Gildiner delivered sleeping pills to Marilyn Monroe on the set of Niagara. Strong language. Canada Reads 2012. 1999.
