Description

Milwaukee Reads and Boswell Book Company present a special evening featuring Bianca Marais, author of The Witches of Moonshyne Manor, in conversation with Christina Clancy. This event will take place at Shully’s A.T.S. (Across the Street), 143 Green Bay Rd in Thiensville. The Witches of Moonshyne Manor is a funny, tender, and uplifting feminist tale of sisterhood featuring a coven of aging witches who must unite their powers to fight the men determined to drive them out of their home and town. In a race against time, five octogenarian witches are determined to save their home and themselves, but fear their aging powers are no match against increasingly malicious threats. As the deadline approaches, fractures among the sisterhood are revealed, and long-held secrets are exposed, culminating in a fiery confrontation with their enemies. From the starred Library Journal review: "A quirky Golden Girls with wands that explores women's empowerment, friendship, and loyalty and addresses racial equality, identity, and gender fluidity. A timely, fun modern-day fable about women who refuse to conform." Bianca Marais is author of Hum If You Don't Know the Words and If You Want to Make God Laugh. She teaches at the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies and runs the Eunice Ngogodo Own Voices Initiative. Marais also hosts the podcast The Shit No One Tells You About Writing. Tickets cost $45 plus tax and ticket fee and include admission, a glass of wine, light appetizers, and a paperback copy of The Witches of Moonshyne Manor, to be picked up at the event.
