Synopsis

Forget Bourbon. This is the real New Orleans.

This is sex and sexuality and race and madness and violence and fine dining.

Not necessarily in that order.

In New Orleans’ French Quarter, Nat juggles his restaurant, his family, his past and a secret that threatens all of it.

Whip-smart Willie, skidding through adolescence with a little skill and a lot of luck, discovers another secret in an old poet’s epic poem, The Mystic Pig. One with a shadow over his whole future.

Two people thrown together in a murky and dubious world of half-truths, colourful characters and secret lives.

Can honesty and true friendship result in redemption for one and freedom for the other? Or will the sacrifices entailed ruin everything beyond repair?

Humor and compassion abound in this fascinating exploration of life and love in modern America.

Get ready to be sucked into NOLA’s heady, unique mix of life, love, music and food!

"Mystic Pig, is as wild, dangerous and spicy as the city it celebrates." – Valerie Martin

"From page one, this is a novel you want to take your time with." – Frederick Barthelme

Présentation de l'éditeur


A modern romance for a fractured age.

A multi-layered mini epic that wholeheartedly lays its love on the line in the face of an abeyance of hope.

Love for New Orleans; her secrets, her dark corners, her food.

Love for life; its heroes, its villains, its also-rans.

But above all, a love for Passion; its purity, its beauty, its inevitable consequences.

Consequences felt by both twelve-year-old Willie Singer, growing up, and middle-aged Nathan Moore, growing older.

Two inhabitants of the Crescent City whose paths collide and ricochet through the dying of a local poet and the ramifications of his death-bed opus – an epic poem, ‘The Mystic Pig’.

For better and worse, their lives are forever altered.

Hell is the place between words and the world...

Mystic Pig beguiles. Written in evocative and poetic prose it effortlessly wraps the reader in the sensual, heady and vibrant atmosphere of the French Quarter and delivers you right into the complex  lives of its characters – warts and all.

A novel about life and love, death and despair, acceptance, denial, murder, sex – and fine cuisine. Not necessarily in that order.

You'll love this amazing page-turner - grab it today.
