Be Frank With Me by Julia Claiborne Johnson

ik werd er verdrietig van, en lachte door m'n tranen heen. maar dit verhaal is wat meer gelaagd dan Rosie. Natuurlijk zit er veel humor in dit verhaal.

(en dankzij mijn familie weet ik dat uit ervaring) Frank en wij laat zien dat er een heleboel moeilijke kanten zitten aan het liefhebben van iemand die autist is. dit boek werd me aangeraden door iemand die erbij zei, dit is 'voor liefhebbers van het Rosie Project'.ĭe enige overeenkomst is, dat er een autistisch personage in het boek zit. When Alice Whitley arrives at the Banning mansion, she’s put to work right away-as a full-time companion to Frank, the writer’s eccentric nine-year-old, a boy with the wit of Noël Coward, the wardrobe of a 1930s movie star, and very little in common with his fellow fourth graders.Īs she gets to know Frank, Alice becomes consumed with finding out who his father is, how his gorgeous “piano teacher and itinerant male role model” Xander fits into the Banning family equation-and whether Mimi will ever finish that book.įull of heart and countless only-in-Hollywood moments, Be Frank With Me is a captivating and heartwarming story of an unusual mother and son, and the intrepid young woman who finds herself irresistibly pulled into their unforgettable world. Mimi reluctantly complies-with a few stipulations: No Ivy Leaguers or English majors. “Mimi” Banning has been holed up in her Bel Air mansion for years, but now she’s writing her first book in decades and to ensure timely completion her publisher sends an assistant to monitor her progress.
