The Bookmaker's Daughter: A Memory Unbound
Richly detailed with family anecdotes, feminist insight, history, sociology, and Southern mythology, this memoir chronicles Abbott's volatile relationship with her father, a bookie at an illegal gambling house. A moving attempt to understand . . . how a bitter failure of a man was also the father of a real maker of books.--Valerie Sayers, New York Times Book Review.
