Krátky popis
`Must-read... A funny yet tragic tale of a husband and wife's car
journey across the US with Albert the alligator in tow. Yes,
really.' Marie ClaireA journey of a thousand miles. With an
alligator on the back seat. And John Steinbeck as a passenger.This
is a tale where everything is true,except the bits that are made
up.In 1930s America, the Great Depression made everyone's horizons
smaller, and Elsie Lavender found herself back where she began, in
the coalfields of West Virginia.She had just one memento of her
halcyon days - a baby alligator named Albert.Then one day, her
husband's stoical patience snapped and Elsie had to choose between
Homer and Albert.She decided that there was only one thing to do:
they would carry Albert home to Florida.And so began their odyssey
- a journey like no other, where Elsie, Homer and Albert
encountered everything from movie stars and revolutionaries to
Ernest Hemingway and hurricanes in their struggle to find love,
redemption,and a place to call home.From the bestselling author of
Rocket Boys-the basis of the movie October Sky-comes a long-awaited
prequel. Big Fish meets The Notebook in this novel about a man, a
woman, and their alligator.
