Learn moreWhen Glamour Day comes to the Klip-N-Kurl beauty parlor in tiny Lovettsville, Virginia, Tallie Brock sees her ticket to Hollywood and stardom. By turns funny and tender, joyous and poignant, bestselling author Anne LeClaire has written a winning, stylish novel of small-town Southern life—and what it means to be a mother, daughter, best friend, wife, and lover.
Anne D. LeClaire is the author of the critically acclaimed novel Entering Normal, among others. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, Redbook, and Yankee. She is the mother of two adult children and lives on Cape Cod.
Pamela Steele received an early international perspective on media and culture as the daughter of a career US military father and Portuguese mother. Today her voice can be heard on a daily basis throughout the United States, South America, and Europe.
Reviews
“Tallie is a likable, energetic character, a smart girl with dreams...Leaving Eden is a light, breezy novel about serious subjects. It’s eventful, with a lingering death, a murder, a secret revealed, to say nothing of a makeover.”
Tallie is an endearing character, and the Southern banter of the ladies at the beauty parlor where she works is pitch-perfect…LeClaire’s homey storytelling goes down easy.
“Steele hits the mark, bringing such life and believability to her portrayals of characters and their emotions that each soon becomes someone we all know. Steele mirrors LeClaire's writing by rendering even dramatic and poignant situations in the low-key mode of real people dealing with life's traumas. This combination of compelling story and skilled reader is a laudable addition.”
“Saturated with death and loss yet bursting with life, a beautiful, reflective meditation on friendship in its many guises.”
“A well-told coming-of-ager”
