<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A tribute to the ardor of supposedly ordinary people, this memoir's concerns reach beyond a single life to achieve a historic testament to mid-century middle America, in Hampl's most intimate, yet most universal, work to date.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>During the long farewell of her mother's dying, Patricia Hampl revisits her midwestern girlhood.Daughter of a debonair Czech father, whose floral work gave him entrée to St. Paul society, and a distrustful Irishwoman with an uncanny ability to tell a tale, Hampl remained, primarily and passionately, a daughter well into adulthood. She traces the arc of faithfulness and struggle that comes with that role--from the postwar years past the turbulent sixties. At the heart of The Florist's Daughter is the humble passion of people who struggled out of the Depression into a better chance, not only for themselves but for the common good.Widely recognized as one of our most masterly memoirists, Patricia Hampl has written an extraordinary memoir that is her most intimate, yet most universal, work to date.This transporting work will resonate with readers of Francine du Plessix Gray's Them: A Memoir of Parents and JeannetteWall's The Glass Castle.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>PRAISE FOR <i>THE FLORIST'S DAUGHTER</i></b><p><i>A Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year</i></p><p><i>A New York Times Notable Book</i></p><i>The Florist's Daughter</i> is Hampl's finest, most powerful book yet.<i>--The New York Times Book Review </i><i></i> "Addictive . . . quietly stunning." --<i>People <p></p></i>"If anyone can restore the memoir to glory, it's Patricia Hampl . . . Read Hampl and you will forget about Frey." --<i>Chicago Tribune <p></p></i>"[A] beautiful bouquet of a book." --<i>Entertainment Weekly <p></p></i>"Tender, thoughtful." --<i>Christian Science Monitor <p></p></i><p></p><br>
