Carousel of Progress: A Novel

Material Type: All, Books — Tags: , , , , — Posted on November 10, 2008 at 2:51 pm

By: Tanney, Katherine

I love fiction especially coming of age stories. I was having lunch with Nancy Schiesari, a Radio-Television-Film professor and lauded cinematographer earlier this Spring and she recommended Carousel of Progress to me. The story is about a teenage girl growing up in L.A. whose parents are getting divorced. There is so much truth and honesty in this tale, the characters are so real, and the dynamics of the relationships so complex. Tanney grew up in L.A. and now lives in Austin, just like me. Schiesari knows Tanney personally because
Tanney is also a cinematographer. The story was so familiar, it was hard to put down.
