Beschreibung
The brat from South Carolina is compared to novels such as Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn or J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye. It reveals to readers the world of white poverty in the South of the United States. The main character and narrator is the daughter of a fifteen-year-old waitress, growing up in a large family clan of perpetually drunk uncles and rapidly aging aunts. The disruption of the peaceful family atmosphere occurs when her mother marries the unpredictable Glen. The painfully authentic testimony of a prematurely mature girl is also a book about love and its mysterious twists. The novel has been translated into several world languages and successfully adapted into a film.
