Advice from the Wicked

Více o knize

"Renowned Louisiana storyteller Glen Pitre delivers an epic tall tale of an alluring teenage widow and her delightfully devious son. From a fishing village the day an 1893 hurricane slams ashore, through luxurious intrigue and heartbreaking injustice on a bayou sugar plantation, to the sweaty bodies and hot jazz of New Orleans' infamous Storyville red-light district, the novel's precocious young narrator offers us advice to live by, even as he bends every rule, breaks every promise, and casts unpredictable hoodoo spells, all to defend his dear mother, whether she wants his protection or not."--Back cover
