IT'S HAPPENING  

June is off to a great start: After three years in the making, we’re thrilled to share that we’re opening a storefront in our very own Park Circle neighborhood!

As we look to an early July opening date, stop by to show your support at one of our many June events with the bookmobile. And never fear -- Viola will keep rolling once the shop doors open (for all our non-Park Circle customers!).

THREE Opportunities to Meet Local/Regional Authors

Why host one when you can host three? In addition to local author Cinelle Barnes joining us for book club on the 19th, we have...

Southern Crime and Mystery Writers at Frothy Beard

On Friday, June 16, we'll be hosting southern crime fiction writers J.R. Backlund, Hank Early, and J. G. Hetherton for a multi-author signing at our monthly stop at Frothy Beard. This is a must-stop for all crime fiction fans. Female detectives, thrilling plotlines, rave reviews -- these authors have it all. Books will be available for purchase and signing!

Food for Thought: Denmark Vesey’s Garden

Join Itinerant Literate Books at Harold's Cabin for a captivating discussion of Denmark Vesey's Garden: Slavery and Memory in the Cradle of the Confederacy by Ethan J. Kytle and Blain Roberts. Charleston's own Tamika Gadsden will interview the authors of this fascinating interrogation of Charleston's relationship with the institution of slavery, its history of activism, and the legacy of African American resistance to oppression. The authors will be on hand to sign copies of the book after. Complimentary hors d'ouvres will be offered during an opening reception at 4:30, and Harold's Cabin will have a speciality cocktail exclusive to the event available for purchase.

About the book
Told with a lyrical, almost-dreamlike voice as intoxicating as the moonflowers and orchids that inhabit this world, Monsoon Mansion is a harrowing yet triumphant coming-of-age memoir exploring the dark, troubled waters of a family’s rise and fall from grace in the Philippines. It would take a young warrior to survive it.

Cinelle Barnes was barely three years old when her family moved into Mansion Royale, a stately ten-bedroom home in the Philippines. Filled with her mother’s opulent social aspirations and the gloriously excessive evidence of her father’s self-made success, it was a girl’s storybook playland. But when a monsoon hits, her father leaves, and her mother’s terrible lover takes the reins, Cinelle’s fantastical childhood turns toward tyranny she could never have imagined. Formerly a home worthy of magazines and lavish parties, Mansion Royale becomes a dangerous shell of the splendid palace it had once been.

In this remarkable ode to survival, Cinelle creates something magical out of her truth—underscored by her complicated relationship with her mother. Through a tangle of tragedy and betrayal emerges a revelatory journey of perseverance and strength, of grit and beauty, and of coming to terms with the price of family—and what it takes to grow up.
