Krátky popis
When I tell you Stella Fortuna was a special girl, I hope you
aren't thinking small-town special. Other people would
underestimate Stella Fortuna during her long life, and not one of
them didn't end up regretting it.Hundred-year-old Stella Fortuna
sits alone in her house in Wethersfield, Connecticut, crocheting
blankets and angrily ignoring her sister, Tina, who lives across
the street. Born into abject poverty in an Italian village, Stella
Fortuna's name might mean Lucky Star, but for the last century, her
life has been defined by all the times she might have died.Up until
now, Stella's close bond with her sister has been one of the few
things to survive her tumultuous life, but something has happened,
and nobody can understand what it might be. Does the one life and
many (near) deaths of Stella Fortuna have secrets still to be
revealed, even to those who believe they are closest to her? By
turns a family saga, a ghost story, and a coming-of cranky-old-age
tale, Juliet Grames's THE SEVEN OR EIGHT DEATHS OF STELLA FORTUNA
lays bare the costs of migration and patriarchal values, but also
of the love and devotion that can sustain a family through
generations, in a sprawling 20th century saga of a young woman with
a fire inside her which cannot be put out.
