Requiem for Locusts
by Wendy Parciak
"A powerful,
riveting story, sensual in the language of landscape, Requiem For Locusts
seduces you first with compassion for its alienated, eccentric characters and
then transforms you with its message of love and tolerance. I laughed. I cried
as the old maid school teacher, the shy neurologist, the teenager full of heroic
dreams, the circus performers, the discordant parents of a toddler, and the
loving father all face their own limitations in light of a mentally ill young
woman who can see what they cannot. The echoes of this story will continue to
haunt me for a long, long time. An astonishing feat of writing by first-time
novelist, Wendy Parciak!
Priscilla Cogan, award-winning author of
Winona’s Web, Compass of the
Heart, Crack at Dusk: Crook of Dawn, Double Time, and The Unraveling Thread
"Requiem for Locusts draws the reader into the lives of ordinary people, who
behind closed doors lead extraordinary lives. An absolutely riveting chain of
events unfolds with a completely unexpected ending! Ultimately, we're reminded
of the richness and poignancy in every life, regardless of outward appearances."
Beth Bruno, author of Wild Tulips
