The Gravedigger's Guild
The Gravedigger's Guild | Susan E. Farris
3 posts | 1 read
Alice Matins is dead. With the passing of this Mississippi matriarch, estranged sisters Maggy and Quinn collide over the course of Alice's wake and funeral amidst a motley band of gossiping church ladies and feuding gravediggers. As storm clouds gather, the two women unbury secrets from their past involving Quinn's husband that could resurrect their once-strong sisterly bond. But he has secrets of his own. The Gravedigger's Guild examines the indelible ties of sisterhood and the complicated legacy we leave behind. With a style similar to Andrea Bobotis (The Last List of Miss Judith Kratt), this novel will appeal to readers who enjoy stories of strong sibling relationships like Tara Conklin's The Last Romantics and fans of picturesque Southern tales like Sweet Magnolias.

Insane work week & asthma flare ups so I‘vw been out of pocket. Anyway, I reviewed this book on 4/22 for an author-requested book tour & enjoyed it. Southern Gothic about 2 estranged sisters & a small Mississippi community when their mother (& town matriarch) dies. I found the pomp & circumstance of the wake, funeral & gravedigger‘s guild interesting & the family drama absorbing. Paired here with the author‘s Pimiento Cheese. Review/recipe link⬇️

Kappadeemom I am from Georgia and love pimento cheese. ONLY USE REAL CHEESE THAT YOU GRATE YOURSELF!... that is the secret 😂 3y
DebinHawaii @Kappadeemom Definitely! 👍👍A rule for pimento cheese & the mac & cheese I am making today for a book tour next week. The pre-grated is coated with stuff to make it not stick together & ruins the texture of sauces & pimiento cheese! 😂 3y

My finished Corn & Hominy Chowder: delish, rich & vegan with the coconut milk I added & great texture from the hominy-it hit the spot today. Recipe link⬇️

Doing a review of this book next week. The author reached out on Instagram because she likes my book review/recipe pairings. Time is so limited lately & I have so many books to read, I don‘t usually say yes to books outside the tour company I work with but she was nice & the plot intrigued me.

DebinHawaii Link to Mark Bittman chowder/soup recipe with my changes & additions: http://kahakaikitchen.blogspot.com/2021/04/mark-bittmans-basic-corn-hominy-chowd... 3y
Texreader I need that link. I love hominy. Hominy and corn! Why didn‘t I think of that? I‘ll bet it was yummy! 3y
