(Oregon, WI USA) The Noon God
January 5, 2007
A dark novel of coming to terms with secrets and accepting
the heavy mantle of responsibility. The Noon God is a dark
novel about struggling to survive in the shadow of greatness
- or presumed greatness. When Desdemona Fortune's father is
found murdered inside the offices of the faculty of Art, she
knows of a great many people who held a potentially lethal
grudge against him - and as she struggles to cope with the
fallout of a household poisoned by addiction and narcissism,
Desdemona must accept that the father she loved inflicted
terrible pain on those closest to him. Now thrust into the
role of head of the formerly illustrious family, she must
protect her surviving sister from the reach of a seeming
immortal at any cost. A dark novel of coming to terms with
secrets and accepting the heavy mantle of responsibility,
The Noon God fascinates the reader with the brilliance of
its stark choices and the hidden depths of its shadows.
