Publisher's Note
Fulfilling all the high expectations set by her well-received CRAZY LADIES, Michael Lee West's SHE FLEW THE COOP brilliantly inter weaves dark calamity with comedy to depict ever day life in tiny Limoges, Louisiana, in 1952. Told through the voices of its richly eccentric characters, SHE FLEW THE COOP is an entrancing picture of Limoges's gossipmongering citizens and a beautifully rendered picture of small-town life, filled with wry humor and humanity.
In this funny and touching novel, the author of Crazy Ladies brilliantly interweaves dark calamity with comedy to depict everyday life in small-town Limoges, Louisiana, circa 1952. "(Captures) the color, eccentricities and tragicomedy that the best Southern writers do so well".--Publishers Weekly.
Industry Reviews
"The autor of the acclaimed 'Crazy Ladies' has captured the color, eccentricities and tragicomedy that the best Southern writers do so well."
Tonelson
"West has created a whole world, Southern in its recipes and manners, small town in its gossip and interconnections, and utterly individual in the characters, who are so teeming with life you would have to stand back to create some breathing room if you met them."
Tonelson
"It would be hard to top a book like 'Crazy Ladies', Michael Lee West's first novel, but she's done it with 'She Flew the Coop'. West isn't just one in a long series of good Southern fiction writers. She is a major talent."
