Synopsis of A Cure for Dreams
En 'A Cure for Dreams', Kaye Gibbons nos presenta la historia de Betty Randolph, quien narra la vida de su madre, una mujer dominante que rechazó a su marido tras el nacimiento de Betty y se sintió aliviada al enviudar joven, convirtiéndose en la 'reina abeja' de su comunidad. Madre e hija se vuelven inseparables hasta que Betty, ya veinteañera, se da cuenta de que se dirige al solterío. La trama se desarrolla a través de viñetas conectadas, enriquecidas por los comentarios mordaces de Betty y los aforismos de la gente sencilla del campo. Gibbons transmite la atmósfera de la Depresión y la Segunda Guerra Mundial con referencias a los presidentes Hoover y Roosevelt, y detalles de la época como el nacimiento de las quintillizas Dionne. Una novela que explora las esperanzas y sueños de cuatro generaciones de mujeres sureñas, transmitidos de abuela a madre, a hija y a nieta.
