As you all know, The 10th Anniversary, 10K book Campaign is drawing to close. I want to thank you for buying books and spreading the word! Over the past 2 1/2 months I think I have reached out to nearly 18,000 people - I can only pray that more than half of those people purchased books!
The 9th of this month will mark the "official" end of the campaign so if you have not already purchased a copy of SUGAR you still have time to do so!!
As for me, I will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary for all of 2010!!
In order to further commemorate this milestone, I will be awarding 10 lucky winners a copy of the 10th Anniversary Edition of SUGAR! Please visit my blog to participate: http://www.firstborngirl.blogspot.com
“Bernice L. McFadden's first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor's daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. "The murder had white man written all over it," writes McFadden. "But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?" In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome "business" in the house next door, she doesn't know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar's face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose--rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character--the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying.”
