I've just started reading White Oleander. A young girl lives in awe and fear of her beautiful swedish mother who reads poetry in her spare time. She works editing copy, and takes her daughter to work with her.
When this girl is alone, she often visits her alcoholic neighbor.
Her mother has rules about men, but breaks them for a man who she enjoys being with, but soon he goes on to other women. Her mother seeks revenge, leaving white oleander blossoms as a symbol that she has been to visit.
