Década de los setenta en una pequeña ciudad de California. «Bean» Holladay tiene doce años y su hermana Liz quince cuando su madre las abandona «para encontrarse a sí misma» y triunfar en la música. Aunque les deja dinero para subsistir un mes o dos, las pequeñas tienen miedo de acabar siendo recogidas por los servicios sociales y deciden tomar un autobús a Virginia, donde su tío Tinsley vive en la decadente mansión que ha sido la casa de su familia durante generaciones.
Pero el pequeño pueblo en el que nacieron ha cambiado mucho desde su marcha. Y la vida es muy diferente. Ante la escasez de dinero, las dos hermanas tendrán que empezar a hacer pequeños trabajos para Jerry Maddox, el poderoso capataz de la fábrica de algodón. Las niñas tendrán que adaptarse para volver a empezar a la vez que descubren la historia oculta de quién es su padre y por qué su madre tuvo que abandonar Virginia.
Jeannette Walls vuelve a conmover con una novela sobre la familia, la amistad y el triunfo de la justicia frente a la adversidad. Y sobre personas que encuentran un modo de amar a los demás y al mundo pese a todos sus defectos.
La crítica ha dicho... «Magníficamente escrita... Una historia sobre la infancia, absorbente y libre de sentimentalismos».
The New York Times Book Review
«Walls escribe con gran seguridad sobre Liz y Bean, demostrando en la ficción lo que ya hizo en sus memorias en El castillo de cristal, que conoce el corazón de los niños... así como la maldad que puede habitar en el corazón de los adultos».
Parade
«Una novela encantadora y emocionante».
USA Today
«Sus seguidores encontrarán ecos de su chispeante crónica familiar que cautivó a los lectores en 2005, pero La estrella de plata es la obra de una escritora más madura, calculadora y segura... Una evocadora novela del paso de la infancia a la adolescencia, de momentos de cambio y de vínculos familiares que se tuercen pero no se rompen».
Dallas Morning News
«Una cautivadora aventura que se lee de una sentada».
