Synopsis "Blues in the Wind-Revisited"
Whitney J. LeBlanc has written a saga of a Creole family from Estilette Louisiana, against the backdrop of the birth of the blues. Phillip Ferguson's marriage to the beautiful Creole Martha Broussard turns into nightmares; and events of murder, lynching, voodoo and sexual abuse by a priest set in motion the disintegration of the family. We follow the early blues legends from Robert Johnson to Bessie Smith to Leadbelly to Lightin' Hopkins and BB King as they sing their way through the Delta. A family drama with bite, as Martha Ferguson, the most complex character in the novel is drawn in the image of other great southern female characters created by William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams and Flannery O'Conner. This book is rich in narrative and descriptive detail of the Louisiana Creole/Negro culture during the era off the Great Depression to the early years of the Civil Rights Movement. This is indeed, a tragic story full of deceit, hypocrisy and pain. The writing not only drags the reader into the excitement of each moment, but gives insight into the struggles of the past and presages the horrors that are still to come. Read, enjoy, be informed and entertained.
