📗 Libro en inglés DIVINE SECRETS OF THE YA-YA SISTERHOOD

Wells is a Louisiana-born Seattle actress and playwright; her loopy saga of a 40-year-old player in Seattle''s hot theater scene who must come to terms with her mama''s past in steamy Thornton City, Louisiana, reads like a lengthy episode of Designing Women written under the influence of mint juleps and Faulkner''s Absalom, Absalom!. The Ya-Yas are the wild circle of girls who swirl around the narrator Siddalee''s mama, Vivi, whose vivid voice is "part Scarlett, part Katharine Hepburn, part Tallulah." The Ya-Yas broke the no-booze rule at the cotillion, skinny-dipped their way to jail in the town water tower, disrupted the Shirley Temple look-alike contest, and bonded for life because, as one says, "It''s so much fun being a bad girl!" Siddalee must repair her busted relationship with Vivi by reading a half-century''s worth of letters and clippings contained in the Ya-Ya Sisterhood''s packet of Divine Secrets." It''s a contrived premise, but the secrets are really fun to learn.
