It offered so much darkness and it was a book that I knew I needed to read.ĭepression-era in the sweltering heat of Louisiana, a young woman is left behind by her family only with a photograph and an amulet. An evil surrounding a traveling carnival, an abandoned child with weird powers, and a devilish pact only she can break. It called to me and captured me in it’s clutches. This book whispered to me like something evil and creepy lurking in the dark. Rolling across a consuming dust bowl landscape, Eliza may have found her destiny. Only then can Eliza save her friends, find her family, and fight the sway of a primordial demon preying upon the human world. And she’s met her match in Eliza, who’s only beginning to understand the purpose of her own burgeoning powers. But the Bacchanal is no ordinary carnival. And the Bacchanal Carnival is Eliza’s ticket out of the swamp trap of Baton Rouge.Īmong fortune-tellers, carnies, barkers, and folks even stranger than herself, Eliza finds a new home. To a talent prospector, she’s a crowd-drawing oddity. It’s a gift for communicating with animals. But the carnival’s newest act, a peculiar young woman with latent magical powers, may hold the key to defeating it. Her time has come.Ībandoned by her family, alone on the wrong side of the color line with little to call her own, Eliza Meeks is coming to terms with what she does have. ![]() Evil lives in a traveling carnival roaming the Depression-era South. ![]() ![]() And no, these charming and eccentric animals weren't pets she was a farmer, not a zookeeper. Soon, some rabbits joined the fun, then two three-hundred-pound pigs. ![]() What started out as a few egg-laying chickens led to turkeys, geese, and ducks. She closed her eyes and pictured heirloom tomatoes, a beehive, and a chicken coop. Especially when she moved to a ramshackle house in inner city Oakland and discovered a weed-choked, garbage-strewn abandoned lot next door. Ambivalent about repeating her parents' disastrous mistakes, yet drawn to the idea of backyard self-sufficiency, Carpenter decided that it might be possible to have it both ways: a homegrown vegetable plot as well as museums, bars, concerts, and a twenty-four-hour convenience mart mere minutes away. ![]() At the same time, she can't shake the fact that she is the daughter of two back-to-the-land hippies who taught her to love nature and eat vegetables. Urban and rural collide in this wry, inspiring memoir of a woman who turned a vacant lot in downtown Oakland into a thriving farm Novella Carpenter loves cities-the culture, the crowds, the energy. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 2000, Stephen Frears directed the film version starring John Cusack, which has grossed almost 50 million in its lifetime. ![]() It is a national bestseller and a New York Times Notable Book, and has received worldwide praise. ![]() It was written in 1995 by British novelist and journalist Nick Hornby. High Fidelity is one such novel that has been turned into a movie. However, when turning any piece of literature into a film, there are a number of distinct and unavoidable differences, no matter how the contributors may struggle to make the two forms as similar as possible. Certainly audience members will argue as to the quality of one of these forms versus the other, or whether there might be a better actor for some role than the particular one chosen by the Hollywood powers that be, or if the soundtrack either enhanced or detracted from the effect, or even if the plot was completely ruined and the movie was declared a colossal failure. Many a critique, either positive or negative, has been written about the editorializing done and the amount of creative license taken during the transition of these stories from print to the big-screen. ![]() Since soon after the invention of sound films, directors have been turning popular-and sometimes not so popular-books into motion pictures. ![]() |
