Opis

Meredith Steinbach's latest novel, Village with Blue Doors, is the literary prequel to her 2013 Paris Book Festival Winner, The Charmed Life of Flowers: Field Notes from Provence. Village with Blue Doors is a dark comedy that has its characters addressing issues of equality, forgiveness, and sheer survival in a modern day fairy tale. The tale begins with the engagement and the impromptu party in Cafe Rousseau for Pearl Queneau, the little albino school teacher, and Ambrose le Beau, the one-eyed, gigantic, conductor of the children's symphony. By noon on the following day, however, The Flash Flood Unforeseeable has already shaken up nearly everything for the new couple, and for Pere Martin and the other eight-hundred citizens of St. X. Cover and book were designed by Mary Tiegreen. Author photo by Zach S. Hartman.
