Carolyn Turgeon at Cody's Books January 14, 2007

CAROLYN TURGEON conjures RAIN VILLAGE, the story of a tiny girl from Kansas who dreams of becoming a circus performer, her mysterious and exotic mentor, the secrets and histories each struggles to overcome, and finding love. Kathy Patrick, founder of the famous – and infamous – Pulpwood Queens Book Club, writes “I am always thrilled to read a book that begins with dire circumstances and transforms into something as wonder-filled as the world of Oz. Carolyn Turgeon’s magical, mysterious tale will unfold before you and rise like the big tent of the greatest show on earth.” Carolyn Turgeon received her master’s degree in comparative literature from UCLA; she lives and works in New York. 4:30 PM at Cody’s Stockton Street, San Francisco
