Produktbeschreibung
Fasten your seat belts and hop aboard a roller-coaster ride through the shenanigans of the fictitious LaPierre-Menard family as they celebrate their three-day family reunion in the shade of a big magnolia tree and the traditional telling of the family stories. You'll meet the old storytellers as they share their family tales of Dolice Marie and Jean Pierre LaPierre; their beloved Mama Mozelle; the notorious mistress of the LaPierre Plantation, madam Frou-Frous; the powerful juju of the voodoo priestess, Mama Del; the charm of Savannah, MISS BB Carson Declouette; and the tall redheaded Canadian that changed their lives forever, named Menard. Mint Julep: The Reunion takes the reader from plantation life on the bayous of Louisiana to life in the great city of New Orleans, from poverty to society, rags to riches, shacks to bordellos, with fine clothes and the joys of zydeco music, all with laughter and just plain old good fun! Relax and enjoy your narrator, Alexandra LaPierre-Menard, as she describes the LaPierre-Menard family reunion to Ms. Gracie Buckhalter, fine writer that she is, in long, drawn-out sentences that represent the very essence of true Southern finesse while supporting the very idea that everyone who reads Mint Julep: The Reunion is a true Southerner, if not just for the moment.
