I have a friend that has recently completed a novel, Siamese Sister, but isn’t sure if it’s any good or not. He’s looking for readers to give him an opinion. Here’s a promo on his book.
Set in the Eastern Panhandle region of West Virginia, Siamese Sister tells the life of teenager Myra O’Neill, who gets pregnant by a gypsy boy. The boy’s mother, Mirella Redzosko, places a curse on the girl and her family when Myra refuses to allow the gypsies to raise her child.“When the clock strikes midnight and the blood starts flowing, so shall your blood flow.”
Failing to kidnap the child at birth, the gypsies flee the area for many years, cursing the family and plantation home forever.
Myra, ashamed by her past, keeps the events secret from everyone. She writes of the events in her journal, chronicling the gypsy curse as it destroys her family.
The story intensifies when Myra becomes grandmother to Siamese twin girls and the family discovers hidden events of their past. It’s a race against time as the family, aided by a Catholic priest, fights to defeat the gypsies, their curse, and the Siamese Sister, who willingly serves as the gypsy’s pawn.
If you think, you’d like to give it a read, click this link and leave your information in the comments of his blog entry. He’ll see that you get a copy. He only requests that you read it within a month and give him some feedback and how you liked or didn’t like his book.
