Join us Friday, June 2, as we welcome North Carolina author Marjorie Hudson back to Manteo for a book signing featuring her new novel- Indigo Field. In the rural South, a retired colonel in an upscale retirement community grieves the sudden death of his wife on the tennis court. On the other side of the highway, an elderly Black woman grieves the murder of her niece by a white man. Between them lies an abandoned field where three centuries of crimes are hidden, and only she knows the explosive secrets buried there. When the colonel runs into her car, causing a surprising amount of damage, it sparks a feud that sets loose the spirits in the Field, both benevolent and vengeful. In prose that’s been called “dazzling” and “mesmerizing,” in the animated voices of trees and birds and people, in Southern-voiced storytelling as deeply layered as that of Pat Conroy, Marjorie Hudson lays out the boundaries of a field that contains the soul of the South and leads us to a day of reckoning.
Marjorie will be signing books and greeting friends and fans from 5:30pm - 7:30pm at Downtown Books, located at 103 Sir Walter Raleigh Street in Downtown Manteo. First Friday is a fun, free, family friendly event featuring live music throughout downtown, art show openings, book signings, trunk shows, later shop hours, restaurant specials and more!
Signed books will be shipped after the event.
