Acerca de esta escucha

In a powerful and poignant novel, an artist unravels her mysterious family history and its generations of women who depended on each other to survive.

Tig Costello has arrived in Darren, Kentucky, commissioned to paint a portrait honoring her grandfather Benjamin. His contributions to the rural Appalachian town and his unimpeachable war service have made him a local hero. But to Tig, he’s a relative stranger. To find out more about him, Tig wants to talk to the person who knew her grandfather best: Eloise Price, the woman who murdered him fifty years ago.

Still confined to a state institution, Eloise has a lifetime of stories to tell. She agrees to share them all—about herself, about Tig’s enigmatic grandmother, and about the other brave and desperate women who passed through Benjamin’s orbit. Most revealing of all is the truth about Whitmore Halls, the mansion on the hill that was home to triage, rescue, death, and one inevitable day that changed Eloise’s life forever.

As Tig begins to piece together the puzzle of her mysterious family tree, it sends her spiraling toward a confrontation with her own painful past—and a reconciliation with all its heartrending secrets.

Reseñas de la Crítica

The Moonflowers is a stunning debut novel fueled by troubling secrets and the strength and extraordinary courage of Appalachian women. Abigail Rose-Marie writes with emotional intensity, reminding us that much has changed in our world but the challenges that women face are still the same. A fascinating and necessary tale.”—Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic & Desire

“Through its powerful braid of weaving together women’s voices across generations, The Moonflowers shows us that the past is always present, that buried secrets will find their light, and that hope lies in the fierce collective of showing up for one another when all else fails. In this compelling debut novel, Abigail Rose-Marie has offered us an absolute gift of a book that is as moving as it is necessary for our current times.”—Anne Valente, author of Our Hearts Will Burn Us Down

“When the young Michigan artist Antigone Costello receives an invitation to small-town Kentucky to paint a portrait celebrating her grandfather, she finds a region haunted by the past. Tales of murder, betrayal, and escape emerge, along with the hidden history of heroic women and the secrets of her own family. Read The Moonflowers—a novel as dark and moody as the deep woods where it’s set, yet ultimately inspiring.”—Lawrence Coates, author of Camp Olvido

Finally! A book with an ending that feels complete!

This book is beautifully written and this performance is lyric and soothing. Loved it: the stories within stories; the descriptions; the strong women themselves. Fabulous.

Main Character's Name Mispronounced!

"Ant-uh-gone"? OMG. This is 7th grade Sophocles. It's "an-TIG-uh-nee" for crying out loud. Ridiculous! This was distracting every time it was pronounced.

An-ti-gone?!

I adored this book so much, but the reader pronouncing Antigone (it is Greek and pronounced an-tig-a-nee) incorrectly every single time was infuriating! It is the name of our main character for crying out loud!! The book is incredible, but this took away from the experience overall. An-ti-gone?! Seriously?!

Unexpected emotional journey

This book was so slow to start but it slowly built into this historical mystery that had a strong intense message. This book tells the silent story of our grandmother and their grandmothers. It tells a story of our future if we are not careful. Women matter and people need to feel these emotions written so rawly in this story or suffer the consequences of repeating history

Great Character Development

I enjoyed the story, but the inaccuracy of the various accents was distracting. The performer should have done better research into Kentucky Appalachian accents.

Beautiful!!

This book is so beautifully written that it brought the story to life. I was engaged from the beginning an could not wait to continue listening. The story is extremely moving-I felt so many emotions and finished feeling so good about all the main characters. The author’s descriptions made me feel as if I was seeing and feeling the same things as the main character. A fantastic read. I loved the audible so much I’m going to buy the book and read it too!

Sadly so timely

I was moved and stunned. Just a beautiful painting of a book. Characters are now good friends. I’d read it again!
