Review by
Marlene Engel
Set in the bayou of New Orleans, this book seamlessly goes
from past to present as the Sorrow family seeks healing, forgiveness and moving
on. The women in the Sorrow family come from a long line of seers, witches and
healers. In 1901 is when their suffering
started with Sister Vesta Grace’s confession.
It was rumored that she had something to do with the death of all but
one member of the once well-known Sorrow family. However, some believed that it was Rosella,
the voodoo witch. For over a century,
this mystery goes unsolved.
Frances Sorrow was looked at as the person who would bring
back the honor to the Sorrow family.
However, she had other thoughts.
Instead she took off and had a short lived marriage to Danny Amore. When she returned home, she was introverted
and kept away from the outside world. Then,
her son disappears. As she goes in
search of finding her son, she comes on secrets that tell of the mysteries of
the past while also setting free the ghosts that haunt the family.
The Witch of Bourbon Street is a magical story about family
and forgiveness. With a cast full of
amazing characters and a story that will draw you in from the first page, this
book is one for your To-Be-Read List.
