Quatrième de couverture :
Meet Lily Casey Smith - horse trainer, mustang breaker, jockey, airplane pilot, Chicago flapper, mother and teacher - in an extraordinary tale of big skies, indomitable passion and unbreakable spirit.
Lily Casey Smith is a sassy, straight-talking heroine for whom saving lives, taming wild horses and beating ranch hands at poker are all in a day's work. Born in 1901, in a dirt house in the rolling gritty grassland of Texas, at age six she is helping her father break horses. At fifteen she leaves home to teach in a town five hundred miles away, riding there on her pony, all alone. Her pearl handled six-shooter by her side, her father's advice rings in her ears: keep your head up, your nose clean and your powder dry, and if you have to shoot, shoot straight.' Lily handles everything that life throws at her - flash floods and tornadoes, the Great Depression, a swindling husband and the most heartbreaking personal tragedy - with immense courage and determination and a wide, wide smile.
Praise for The Glass Castle:
'Tragic and comic at the same time … an outrageous story that will break your heart' Sunday Independent
'The kind of story that keeps you awake long after the rest of the house has fallen asleep' Vogue
'A terrific story, grippingly told' Sunday Times
'Walls has joined the company of writers such as Mary Karr and Frank McCourt who have been able to transform their sad memories into fine art' People

‘Based on the true life of the author’s maternal gran, it focuses on a woman who leaves home at fifteen to become a cowgirl and horse trainer’
List 22/10
‘Half Broke Horses has immense power and readability...What Half Broke Horses does with aplomb is to track the birth of a nation: the conjuring of modern America from a scorched, dusty wasteland; the unstoppable encroachment of what might be civilisation but is probably just commercialism. Every time Lily travels she sees evidence of change. Railroads and skyscrapers appear as if from nowhere. Suspicion of authority grows. The moment when Lily is slapped back by a pupil she has herself slapped for his insolence is a critical one’

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Readers fell in love with Jeannette Walls' unforgettable family in The Glass Castle. Now discover how it all began for the Walls family. 'I never knew a girl to have such gumption,' [Mom would] say. 'But I'm not too sure that's a good thing.' Meet Lily Casey Smith: horse-trainer, airplane pilot, flapper, mother and teacher. Born in 1901 in the rolling grassland of West Texas, Lily grows up with a passion for horses and an indomitable spirit. At age 15 she leaves home, riding 500 miles across the American West on her beloved pony Patch, her pearl-handled six-shooter by her side. Her goal: a teaching post in a frontier-town school. Lily will handle everything life throws at her - flash-floods, tornadoes, the Great Depression, a swindling husband, love and heartbreak - with courage, determination and a smile as wide as the Texas skies.*~*~* 'With convincing, unprettified narration, Walls weaves her own ancestor into this collective rough-and-tumble heritage. [Walls is] the third generation of a line of indomitable women whose paths she has inscribed on the permanent record, enriching the common legend of our American past' New York Times 'A commendable chronicle of an admirably tough woman on America's western frontier' Washington Post 'Has immense power and readibility. What it does with aplomb is to track the birth of a nation: the conjuring of modern America from a scorched, dusty wasteland' The Times Synopsis coming soon.
