The Patron Saint of Ugly
What is beauty, what is saintliness, what is it that makes us human? Garnet Ferrari is a wonderful, witty, sharp-tongued girl and unwilling saint, who takes us from the volcanic mountains of Sicily to the Appalachian hills of her West Virginia home of Sweetwater. This is a book that regals readers with magic realism, wily wit, and an understanding of what true beauty is and real saintliness. The Patron Saint of Ugly is magic to read and has been selected as the One Book One West Virginia Common Read.
