About this listen
In a powerful and poignant novel, an artist unravels her mysterious family history and its generations of women who depended on each other to survive.
Tig Costello has arrived in Darren, Kentucky, commissioned to paint a portrait honoring her grandfather Benjamin. His contributions to the rural Appalachian town and his unimpeachable war service have made him a local hero. But to Tig, he’s a relative stranger. To find out more about him, Tig wants to talk to the person who knew her grandfather best: Eloise Price, the woman who murdered him fifty years ago.
Still confined to a state institution, Eloise has a lifetime of stories to tell. She agrees to share them all—about herself, about Tig’s enigmatic grandmother, and about the other brave and desperate women who passed through Benjamin’s orbit. Most revealing of all is the truth about Whitmore Halls, the mansion on the hill that was home to triage, rescue, death, and one inevitable day that changed Eloise’s life forever.
As Tig begins to piece together the puzzle of her mysterious family tree, it sends her spiraling toward a confrontation with her own painful past—and a reconciliation with all its heartrending secrets.

Catalina de Cerrato is being raised by her widowed father, Don Alonso, in 1551 Guatemala, scarcely thirty years since the Spanish invasion. A ruling member of the oppressive Spanish hierarchy, Don Alonso holds sway over the newly relegated lower class of Indigenous communities. Fiercely independent, Catalina struggles to honor her father and her late mother, a Maya noblewoman to whom Catalina made a vow that only she can keep: preserve the lost sacred text of the Popol Vuh, the treasured and now forbidden history of the K’iche’ people.

Crime analyst and newly disgraced deputy police chief Vera Boyett doesn’t visit home often, and she certainly doesn’t venture back into the cave on her family land. But when the remains of her long-missing stepmother are discovered, Vera will have to face a past that threatens all she is. She and her sister Eve had a fairy-tale childhood: good until it was tragic, with a stepmother they never found a bond with. At least they had each other, a baby half-sister, and a mutual devotion that would have them do the unthinkable.

But after a year on the road, her sister’s engagement pulls Olympia into everything she left behind: her family, her husband, and the grief she’s been trying to forget.

Critic reviews
“The Moonflowers is a stunning debut novel fueled by troubling secrets and the strength and extraordinary courage of Appalachian women. Abigail Rose-Marie writes with emotional intensity, reminding us that much has changed in our world but the challenges that women face are still the same. A fascinating and necessary tale.”—Dinty W. Moore, author of Between Panic & Desire
“Through its powerful braid of weaving together women’s voices across generations, The Moonflowers shows us that the past is always present, that buried secrets will find their light, and that hope lies in the fierce collective of showing up for one another when all else fails. In this compelling debut novel, Abigail Rose-Marie has offered us an absolute gift of a book that is as moving as it is necessary for our current times.”—Anne Valente, author of Our Hearts Will Burn Us Down
“When the young Michigan artist Antigone Costello receives an invitation to small-town Kentucky to paint a portrait celebrating her grandfather, she finds a region haunted by the past. Tales of murder, betrayal, and escape emerge, along with the hidden history of heroic women and the secrets of her own family. Read The Moonflowers—a novel as dark and moody as the deep woods where it’s set, yet ultimately inspiring.”—Lawrence Coates, author of Camp Olvido

In spite of its battlefield specificity, The Art of War has found new life in the modern age, with leaders in fields as wide and far-reaching as world politics, human psychology, and corporate strategy finding valuable insight in its timeworn words.

"Ant-uh-gone"? OMG. This is 7th grade Sophocles. It's "an-TIG-uh-nee" for crying out loud. Ridiculous! This was distracting every time it was pronounced.

timely story. narrator can't pronounce the main character's name and it is maddening
brilliant audio needs to edit their narrators. anti-gone is an unforgivable error. imagine if the narrator for harry potter pronounced it hermi-own.
the story was good, but honestly probably better without audio just because it's so dumb that someone paid to read an entire story didn't think to look up pronunciation for the main character.

An-ti-gone?!
I adored this book so much, but the reader pronouncing Antigone (it is Greek and pronounced an-tig-a-nee) incorrectly every single time was infuriating! It is the name of our main character for crying out loud!! The book is incredible, but this took away from the experience overall. An-ti-gone?! Seriously?!

Unexpected emotional journey
This book was so slow to start but it slowly built into this historical mystery that had a strong intense message. This book tells the silent story of our grandmother and their grandmothers. It tells a story of our future if we are not careful. Women matter and people need to feel these emotions written so rawly in this story or suffer the consequences of repeating history

This book is so beautifully written that it brought the story to life. I was engaged from the beginning an could not wait to continue listening. The story is extremely moving-I felt so many emotions and finished feeling so good about all the main characters. The author’s descriptions made me feel as if I was seeing and feeling the same things as the main character. A fantastic read. I loved the audible so much I’m going to buy the book and read it too!
