Jetta Carleton's autobiographical book, \"Ladies of the Night,\" depicts the American countryside during the turbulent post-World War II era. Winner of the National Book Award in 1963, it became a classic of American literature. During the first half of the 20th century, newlyweds Matthew and Callie Soames move to a farm in western Missouri. There, they navigate life while raising headstrong, strong-willed daughters who will win the reader's heart. Although they love their parents, each, in their own way, tries to escape them and their expectations. Jessica, the eldest, never lives up to her father's wishes. Leonie, the most beautiful and obedient of the daughters, becomes interested in the one man who would never meet her father's approval. Mary Jo is a mystery to both the family and the reader. Mathy, the youngest and most troubled of the couple's daughters, will bring misfortune to the family and change their fates forever. Jetta Carleton is a master of character development, developing each one individually and then uniting them to form the puzzle of the Soames family's life over 50 years. The author maintains interest and surprises with each chapter. Ladies-in-the-Night captures the humor and times of rural life in the American Midwest and brings them to life. Lies, truths, fears, secrets, and anguish will emerge in such a way that it will become clear why this is an eternal classic. A book to be read more than once. \"A deeply moving American family saga... Dramatic... Eternally vivid.\" - Harper's \"Ladies-in-the-Night is a charming book. It has the flavor of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.\" - Denver Post \"A remarkable achievement.\" - Chicago Tribune","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176266744060,"sku":"9788528615692","price":89.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/9a85da91b0837c73baa312ccf3c1326a.jpg?v=1778324371"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.record.com.br\/en\/collections\/jetta-carleton.oembed","provider":"Editora Record","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
