Astrid is the only child of a single mother, Ingrid, a brilliant, obssessed poet who wields her luminous beauty to intimidate and manipulate men. Astrid worships her mother and cherishes their private world full of ritual and mystery----but their idyll is shattered when Astrids mother falls apart over a lover. Deranged by rejection, Ingrid murders the man, and is sentenced to life in prison.
White Oleoander is the unforgettable stroy of Astrid's journey through a series of foster homes and her efforts to find a place for herself in impossible circumstances.
