Bøger af Catherine Marenghi

Eliciting comparisons to "The Glass Castle" and the works of Elena Ferrante, "Glad Farm" is a stunning memoir that readers can't put down. Raised in a primitive one-room farmhouse with no indoor plumbing, the fourth of five children, Catherine Marenghi begins her life in poverty and isolation, but is propelled forward by the love and support of her family. A decade after leaving home at the age of seventeen, she is a successful journalist with the means to buy her family their first decent house. But the past will not be put to rest so easily. Catherine unravels a web of long-buried family secrets, and a terrible betrayal that robbed her family of the home that was rightfully theirs. And she finally learns the story her parents never shared: the gladiolus farm that was once their dream. At once lyrical and raw, unflinching in its detail, "Glad Farm" is an iconic American story of renewal and reinvention, and the mythic power of a house to define our destiny.

Award-winning poet Catherine Marenghi brings us a profoundly visceral collection of love poems ranging from sensual to playful, ecstatic to mournful, provocative to plain-speaking, all written from the perspective of what Dante calls "halfway through the walk of life." The author of Glad Farm: A Memoir, Breaking Bread: Poems, and the historical novel Our Good Name has returned to her first love, poetry, with this moving new collection. Catherine's works have been published in literary journals worldwide. She has won first-place honors in poetry contests judged by acclaimed poets Richard Blanco and Jennifer Clement, and was twice winner of the Academy of American Poets university prize. A Massachusetts native, she now divides her time between Cape Cod and central Mexico.
