Summer of No Rain
批評家のレビュー
“In this YA novel, a multiracial girl finds herself the subject of strange medical experiments in rural Alabama. It’s the summer of 1968. Heat and drought have dried out the fields around Hyssop, where 12-year-old Margaret Ann Odom lives with her Black Cherokee mother, M’dear.... The medicine, whatever it is, causes Margaret Ann to feel depressed, but the truth behind the treatment is even darker than she can imagine. The majority of the book is narrated by Margaret Ann, and Hunter gives her a poet’s eye for the world around her...the novel is based on a true story, one that many readers likely have never heard of, and Hunter tells it in a way that highlights the horrors." (Kirkus Reviews)
あらすじ・解説
As a timid biracial girl growing up in Sweetwater, Alabama, during the 1960s, Margaret Ann Odom’s childhood was all but pleasant. Constantly targeted by her peers due to her different texture of hair and struggling to live up to her M’dear’s expectations, Margaret's life becomes worse when Claire Whitehurst appears at her home, insisting she is due for a sudden medical examination and a series of injections.
Thinking her life couldn’t get any worse, her entire childhood spirals out of control as she faces depression and struggles to learn the value of her life amongst those intent on treating her differently.
