The Witch of Bourbon Street
The Witch of Bourbon Street: A Novel | Suzanne Palmieri
8 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Situated deep in the Louisiana bayou is the formerly opulent Sorrow Estate. Once home to a magical family-the Sorrows-it now sits in ruins, ever since a series of murders in 1902 shocked the entire community. Now the ghosts of girls in white dresses shift in and out of view, stuck in time as they live out the past on repeat.When Frances Green Sorrow is born carrying the "signs" of the so-called chosen one, it is believed she will bring her family back from the brink of obscurity, finally resurrecting the glory of what it once was and setting the Sorrows ghosts free.But Frances is no savior.Fleeing from heartbreak, she seeks solace in the seductive chaos of New Orleans, only to end up married too young in an attempt to live an ordinary life. When her marriage falls apart shortly after having a son, she returns home again-alone-just out of reach from the prying eyes of her family. But when her son disappears, she is forced to rejoin the world she left behind, exposing her darkest secret in order to find him and discovering the truth of what really happened that fateful year in the process.Set amidst the colorful charm of The French Quarter and remote bayous of Tivoli Parish, Louisiana, Suzanne Palmieri's The Witch of Bourbon Street is a story of family, redemption, and forgiveness. Because sometimes, the most important person you have to forgive.... is yourself.

I decided to add some pics from our seafood bake :-) seemed fitting. Interesting plot. This book had a lot of things happening all at once. I ended up skipping parts just to stay motivated to read. It was an overly developed story, with amazing descriptions, well researched dialects and historical accuracy. It just felt very rushed and synthetic at times. Overall, it was okay :-/

I was do disappointed with this book. The 100 pages are so were pretty good. If only the author had written that way the entire time, it would have been a much better book.

I'm determined to read as much of this as I can today. I'm just about halfway. I can do this! Hopefully I'll get it on it's way to @Dempsey on Thursday. #lmpbc #groupo

Already I'm unsure about the writing style. Seems like a good basis but I just don't know about the writing. Lol. I'm only 20 pages in though, so my opinion may change.

I don't really know how I feel about this book... The writing was beautiful and brought the Louisiana bayou alive but I didn't really care about any of the characters and I thought the plot was loose and jumped around a lot. Definitely not my favorite...

It doesn't matter if I am reading a physical book or and e-book on my nook or iPad... I love all things reading!
