Description |
Beatrice is a widowed housewife who takes her hatred of the world out on her two children, Ruth and Tillie. She badgers them and often keeps them out of school to help with housework. The extroverted Ruth is an epileptic and has little love or respect for her mother. The younger Tillie escapes her nightmarish daily life by making scientific experiments in school, studying the effects of cobalt?]60 on marigolds. Only her laboratory work sustains her, and when she wins a science competition she begins to see a brighter future. |
