Search - A Cure for Dreams (Vintage Contemporaries)

This is described as a Large Print edition, but I can't find anything on the book claiming it to be large print. The print though, is larger than normal books, so I suppose it is...it's just not labeled on the book as such. This is a quick read and my first by Gibbons...I intend to read more by her.

from the back cover; "four generations of Southern women...prevailing over hard times and heartless men and finding unexpected pleasures along the way: gossip, gambling, and the quiet satisfaction of knowing more than they're supposed to."

not a page in this novel doesn't sing! great read!

Enthralling, familiar, hilarious, poignant and a quick read. one of Gibbons best.

A good read. I like Gibbon's portrayals of Southern women and she's a good storyteller.

This is a very fast read story about a daughter and her relationship with her Mother. I enjoyed the book.

Another good book from a gifted writer.

Great story. I read it in one day. Richly woven story, traces the bonds between 4 generations of Southern women through oral stories passed from mother to daughter to granddaughter. Witty, explosive story you won't want to put down.

A VERY QUICK FUN READ.

This story traces the bonds between four generations of Southern women through stories passed from mothers to daughters to grandaughters. Very easy read and hard to put down. Enjoyable and well written

A story that traces the bonds between four generations of resourceful Southern women through stories passed from one generation to another.This novel is set from the 1920s to the 1990s and reiterates Kaye Gibbons's most persistent theme: that the really important thing in life is family.
