Produktbeschreibung
Two sensitive and funny portraits of young women determined to be artists and coming of age in the late 1950s, M. B. Goffstein's novels for young adults are available again-published together for the first time in one volume. The Underside of the Leaf "Funny in a bittersweet way." -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (recommended) "Playing with paper dolls one moment and imagining vague sexual encounters the next-a memorable portrait." -Book World Daisy Summerfield's Style "[Daisy Summerfield is] determined to become an honest artist, and the detailing of her life, culminating in a sweet surprise, makes the book a real page-turner." -Publishers Weekly "For someone whose idea of style even in 1959 is to change her first name and stick matching cardboard daisies on her luggage, Daisy Summerfield comes a long way in short time. You'll like her from the start though, this wide-eyed Midwesterner . . . It's a proper fairy-tale ending, confirming for the skeptical that Daisy is an artist indeed-but by then it couldn't be clearer that the real joy is all in getting there." -Kirkus Reviews
