Let the Dark Flower Blossom - Paperback
by Norah Labiner (Author)
Praise for Norah Labiner:
A splendid, leisurely meditation on the meaning of fame, identity, and love.--Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Labiner, narrating in several distinct and haunting voices, proves herself a metafictional adept. She succeeds in crafting an ambitious, poignant and sharp-tongued novel filled with secrets and ghosts, jealousy and love.--Publishers Weekly
Sheldon and Eloise Schell are twins, orphans, and the estranged college companions of the rich, scandalous, celebrated Roman Stone. Now Roman is dead, murdered with a pair of scissors in his living room, and Eloise and Sheldon must separately tease out the secrets--a burning house, a murdered girl--that were the one story they could never tell.
Moving between the muffled plush of wintry Chicago, the fogbound darkness of a Lake Superior island, and the even darker precincts of memory, Let the Dark Flower Blossom is a book about the pull of the closed door. It is about the small pleasure of being right, the tremendous thrill of doing wrong, and the lengths writers will go to--lie, steal, kill--to get the perfect story.
