ELLEN MORRIS PREWITT: WHEN WE WERE MURDEROUS TIME-TRAVELING WOMEN
Join us as we welcome ELLEN MORRIS PREWITT on SATURDAY, MAY 2 at 2:00 PM to celebrate the release of her new novel WHEN WE WERE MURDEROUS TIME-TRAVELING WOMEN.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Story is as strong as reality.
When Etoile moves to New Orleans, she leaves behind in Mississippi a childhood of loss, a host of conflicting memories, and a lot of dead people. Only one of whom perished under suspicious circumstances.
But there are rules for living in a magical city such as New Orleans. Etoile realizes this the moment she accidentally conjures a castle and a prince. And a saint. And her three ancestral grannies.
The prince is desperate to find his would-be assassin. Since murder runs in the family, Etoile and her grannies join the quest, and their often-risible, sometimes-precarious trek compels the krewe through history, family, and the inscrutable city.
As they search for the fiend, Etoile and the prince-separately and as one-regress and come of age again. Sometimes destiny arrives in a mist and lingers like the blush of good wine.
Award winning Southern writer Ellen Morris Prewitt invokes a surrealistic dream state in When We Were Murderous Time-Traveling Women. Flawlessly set in New Orleans, this fantastic tale of self-discovery will energize the resolve and lighten the spirit.
