CRAZY LADIES

a novel

MICHAEL LEE WEST

"Powerful... Impressive." — New York Times Book Review

雖然來自田納西，但這可不意謂葛西小姐是位鄉巴佬。身為一位自立自強、足以獨自應付任何突發狀況的堅強女性，當葛西好不容易拉拔兩位任性的女兒長大成人，偏偏兩人的個性卻是南轅北轍。一位是不苟言笑的桃樂西以及可愛的珍克蘭西。希望能藉著金錢能夠療育童年時的創傷，桃樂西後來嫁給了十元商店的老闆為妻，反觀珍克蘭西卻是惹了一身麻煩，竟然跟著任職於艾索石油加油站的一位好色登徒子離家出走。麻煩事還不只這些，此外還有葛西的孫女，聰穎卻相貌平凡的奧維拉以及講話愛掉書袋的碧西，兩位年輕一代的生活恰恰反映了國家吵鬧混亂的現況。從田納西到紐奧良，以及目眩神迷的舊金山，再到偏僻的西南荒野大牧場，這本詼諧幽默又嗆辣的小說，以其生動活潑的筆觸，引領讀者穿越四十年的時光，一同欣賞普世女性的愛與悲傷，以及生活中的大小趣事。

From the author of She Flew Coop and American Pie comes this lively multigenerational tale of six charming, unforgettable Southern women — a novel of love and laughter, pain and redemption.

Though she was born in Tennessee, Miss Gussie is no country fool. A woman who can handle any situation, she has her hands full with two headstrong daughters who happen to be complete opposites — dour Dorothy and sweet Clancy Jane. Hoping money will heal childhood wounds, Dorothy marries the owner of a five-and-dime, while Clancy Jane gets into a mess of trouble, running off with a randy tomcat who pumps gas at the Esso stand. And then there are Gussie's granddaughters, the smart but plain Violet and fancy-talking Bitsy -- a new generation whose lives will reflect a nation's tumultuous times. From Tennessee to New Orleans, from psychedelic San Francisco to a remote Southwestern desert ranch, this funny, poignant novel spans more than four decades as it vividly recounts the universal loves, sorrows, and joys of women's lives.
