Kaye Gibbons has lived the novelist’s dream. Twenty years ago her debut novel, Ellen Foster, took the literary world by storm, winning her numerous prizes, French knighthood, and praise from the likes of Eudora Welty. Gibbons is only 46 years old, but she has already published seven best selling novels, two of which were awarded coveted slots in Oprah’s Book Club.
Fans yearned to see Ellen Foster grow up out of the dark Southern mulch she struggled to escape. To satisfy her readers, Gibbons has continued her gritty coming of age saga with The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster, which finds the plucky protagonist as an adolescent wise beyond her years.
