susanlawson 's review for:
White Oleander
by Janet Fitch
A stunning story of abandonment and the enduring love of a daughter for a selfish, narcissistic mother. Astrid is moved through a series of foster homes when her mother, Ingrid, a poet, murders a former lover with the poison of the Oleander flower. She is physically, sexually and emotionally abused by a series of men and women. 'All my mothers. Like guests at a fairy-tale christening, they had bestowed their gifts on me.'
