That
Last Carolina Summer by Karen White is
an atmospheric story set in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and centers on Phoebe
Manigualt who, as a child, was struck by lightning and was later gifted with--and
also cursed by--premonitions and mysterious dreams that have marked the course
of her life. When Phoebe, finally settled in Oregon and working as a teacher, is contacted
by her sister Adeline (aka “Addie”) who notifies that their mother is suffering
from dementia, Pheobe returns home. As the three women are reunited, tensions
from the past suddenly illicit supernatural occurrences that force these multi-generational,
well-drawn characters to relive memories and probe secrets that chillingly unite
them all.
White (An Author’s
Guide to Murder, The
House on Prytania) is an accomplished storyteller
who successfully blends elements of women’s fiction, romance, and magical
realism that combine to elevate this well-drawn family saga into an emotionally
evocative, suspenseful page-turner.
