#Amma crellin series#

When AmmaРІР‚в„ўs first friend in Chicago turns up dead, with six teeth missing, Camille realizes the horrible truth-Amma was responsible for Ann and NatalieРІР‚в„ўs deaths, having killed them for getting too close to Adora and then usingР’В teeth plucked from their mouths to make the ivory floor of AdoraРІР‚в„ўs room in her dollhouse replica of the Crellin manse. It's easy to look at Camille's stepfather, Alan, (played by Henry Czerny on the show) and see a 'beaten spouse,' as Noxon described him in a recent. After Adora is arrested for the murders ofР’В Marian,Р’В Ann, andР’В Natalie, Camille takes Amma to live with her in Chicago, believing her fragile and strange little sister to be in need of support. During a drug-fueled romp through town, Amma confesses that she РІР‚СљhurtsРІР‚Сњ to feel better-Camille thinks that her sister is referring to hurting herself, but in time an even darker truth comes to light. Amma purposefully subjects herself to her motherРІР‚в„ўs treatments and ministrations because she longs for the closeness being РІР‚СљsickРІР‚Сњ brings her and Adora-at the same time, she seeks to escape AdoraРІР‚в„ўs clutches and exercise the dark mechanisms of control and intimidation she learns from her mother over the other girls in the neighborhood. Amma, however, has a secret double life, the other half of which is filled with drugs, sex, and cruel machinations aimed at maintaining a complicated web of control over her school and friends. A mess of contradictions, Amma is the picture-perfect daughter when at home, dressing in little girlsРІР‚в„ў dresses and bows forР’В AdoraРІР‚в„ўs delight and spending hours meticulously working on a dollhouse designed to look just like her motherРІР‚в„ўs house.

DonРІР‚в„ўt be greedy.РІР‚СњР”Р„mma kicked me again under the table and smiled emphatically, as if some important matter had been settled.Amma Crellin Amity Adora Crellin, better known as Amma, is one of the characters in the book Sharp Objects and the HBO television series of the same name.Р”Р„mma Crellin isР’В CamilleРІР‚в„ўs thirteen-year-old half-sister.

That was the last time I had her full attention as a mother. Now I had a pang: all those syrups and tablets she proffered, and I rejected. Then Marian got sick, really sick, and Adora had more important things to do than coaxing me into swallowing wheat-germ extract. I sometimes took the foul solutions, more often refused. Where Camille buckled under her motherРІР‚в„ўs twisted smothering. When I was a child, I remember my mother trying to prod me with ointments and oils, homemade remedies and homeopathic nonsense. She inherited her motherРІР‚в„ўs incessant need for power and control, using status, secrets, and pain to accomplish both. My mother didnРІР‚в„ўt even look up at me, just nuzzled Amma in closer to her, and cooed into her ear. I was about to linger near my mother, waiting for her to put an arm around me, too. I felt a shot of alarm, then annoyance: I was sinking back into old routines, about to run to the kitchen to heat some tea, just like I always did for Marian when she was sick. РІР‚СљNothing to worry about,РІР‚Сњ Alan said, looking up from a newspaper. My half sister stared up at me with blank contentment, then went back to playing with a glowing mahogany dinner table, exactly like the one in the next room, except that it was about four inches high. Amma and my mother sat on the couch, my mother cradling Amma-in a woolen nightgown despite the heat-as she held an ice cube to her lips. The scene was startling, it was so much like the old days with Marian. Alan, Adora, and Amma were all gathered in the living room when I returned.
