Title : The Secret of Making Unwearable Socks - Annie Barrows - Book
Summary :
It wasn't the summer project Layla had dreamed of.
Write the story of a small West Virginia town and its sock factory, Les Inusables Américaines.
And yet...
Summer 1938. Layla Beck, a wealthy young city girl, rejects the wealthy match her father has chosen for her and finds herself forced, for the first time in her life, to work. Recruited by a government agency, she travels to Macedonia to write a commissioned book about the small town.
The summer promises to be deadly boring. But she'll fall under the spell of the penniless eccentrics she's boarding with. In the Romeyn family, there's... The daughter, Willa, twelve years old, who has decided to turn her back on childhood... The aunt, Jottie, who can't forget the tragedy that cost the life of the man she loved... And the father, the disturbing Felix, whose activities seem unorthodox. Formerly the owner of the factory, this family's history is closely linked to that of the town.
From suspicions to revelations, Layla will forever change the lives of the members of this community, and bring to light buried truths and poorly healed wounds.
