Título: Camellia Season
Autor: Natasha Peterson
Sinopse: Set in New Orleans, CAMELLIA SEASON is a laughter and tears, coming-of-age story about Cherie, who longs to escape the clutches of her crazy French mother. Cherie’s touchstone is her Wordless Diary, coded with illustrated numbers only she can understand. Beginning in 1965, we follow Cherie and her friends over five years, as they grow up amid the glorious magic and dangerous mayhem of the city's streets. Nourished by the dark gumbo of local culture, Cherie and her krewe both thrive and are crushed among the poets, painters, and predators that lap up the town. Cherie learns the secrets behind her mother’s war trauma and struggles not to unravel. The friends stick together, fray apart, and some of them don’t make it. As she readies to leave home, Cherie is pushed to violence in a desperate bid to break free.
CAMELLIA SEASON is Natasha Peterson’s first novel. She co-authored MEMOIR YOUR WAY, and wrote the graphic novel, THE 9-11 STORY BOOK, illustrated by Alan Gerson. Peterson’s first nonfiction book was SACRED SITES.
