“Literature is the question minus the answer.” This was said by Critic Roland Barthes. The query is‚ what is the question? In the book The Life All Around Me by Ellen Foster‚ which was written by Kaye Gibbons‚ it focuses on a gifted girl who‚ after a long and hard childhood‚ is now getting the life she wants with a new mother.
