Reseña del libro "Shadows of the Blues (en Inglés)"
Moving through the tumultuous decades of time, from the end of WWII to the Civil Rights Movement of the 60s, the Fergerson/Broussard family's struggle continues, as Martha, the matriarch, faces life in a mental institution. Her control continues to reach beyond the walls of her confinement, as she confesses to a lifetime of wrongdoings, which threaten to destroy her family. In the small town of Estilette, Louisiana, where racism and injustice are simply a part of everyday life, the family struggles to escape the shadows of emotional conflicts, which are played out against a backdrop of the blues. The blues that emerged from the likes of Leadbelly, Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, Lightin' Hopkins, Muddy Waters and BB King. "Phillip took a deep breath and pulled at his eyebrows. Troubles were raining down on the family; Lala announced that she was getting a divorce-Rosa was running around with a man wanted by the law, and Lightfoot came close to shooting Naomi. His family was unraveling right before his eyes."
