Black Candle Women is about multi-generational women within one family whose lovers all meet a similar fate, dying as a result of falling in love with them. The backdrop of the story being New Orleans along with the gorgeous cover were what drew me to the story initially. Although New Orleans is referenced as the past the places and food were very relevant to my experience there. There were many secrets kept by each of the women and the journey of the unveiling of these secrets is interwoven throughout the book. The angst felt as a reader was quite intense as earlier conversations as in real life families can aid in circumstances and situations being avoided. Such a great story and read.
