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

“Rose-Marie gives us an almost tactile sense of this small Kentucky town, not much changed since Benjamin’s day, and of the claustrophobic atmosphere of living in a place where everyone knows everything, even the things they don’t talk about.”—Historical Novels Review

“Original, fascinating, emotionally engaging, inherently fascinating, The Moonflowers is gothic historical fiction at its very best. Especially and unreservedly recommended.”—Midwest Book Review

“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

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.

Finally! A book with an ending that feels complete!

This was hard to get through. The topics covered are very prevalent today. Be warned, this book will probably cause you discomfort.

Oof.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and the storyline while especially relevant in today’s climate, was timeless. I found myself wanting to listen even if I only had a few moments. When done, I was mourning the loss of what felt like friends. I immediately looked to see other titles from this author only to find this is her one and only. Please write more @Abigail Rose-Marie!

The Moonflowers - compelling and relevant

Family secrets keep members stuck in confusion because they create distance between individuals and from the truth. The setting and plot of this novel is very interesting and the writing males you feel as if you’re there, witnessing it all. The reader had a good voice, but the accent was off. Also, she completely mispronounced the protagonist’s name. Otherwise she did a decent job of communicating feeling.

Excellent writing, compelling story

"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.

Main Character's Name Mispronounced!

This book was a wonderful surprise. so much so that I'm already looking forward to the authors' next book. The storyline was thoroughly thought out and characters fully developed. I found it hard to follow all the many characters at the beginning but it wasn't long before I was fully absorbed by the story. This isn't really a feel good story but an essential one for women. I found it both comforting and heartbreaking that so many generations of women in America can relate to the same experiences.

Surprised
