Don't miss this evening of intrigue and fantasy with debut Novelist Jennifer Elizabeth Daigle on November 12th at Malaprop's Bookstore, 55 Haywood Street, downtown Asheville. The evening begins with a reading from her book “The Knowing” at 7:00pm, followed by Q & A and booksigning . A brief Review: It's hard to find such a unique read as Daigle’s, “The Knowing,” with characters that you truly miss when you finish the book, a plot that is extremely intelligent without being exhausting, and writing that feels like actual literature. The sensual descriptions, from deep forest night to the landscape of a mafia-type underground, pull you in, and the heroine stands out with a vibrant, unique wit that evokes the author’s Southern roots. Also, "The Knowing" doesn't use the same old trite fantasy characters, but reintroduces classic figures in a completely new way with a modernistic portrayal of “magic” as science. Very, very smart. Excellent dialogue - I love the unexpected humor, sarcasm, and cheeky one-liners. Brilliant debut in fantasy and in literature! Highly recommended!!!
