I found my old friend oleanders accidentally at the front of my living room.

The problem with White Oleander is that it asks its readers to empathize with a character they don't particularly understand.

Last year we saw "The Hours" win awards and "White Oleander" win critical acceptance.

White and pink oleanders meet and make merry in different dialects.

The literary equivalent of a chick flick, Oleander details one girl's attempts to come to terms with her mother while also surviving the cold and largely indifferent world of foster care.
