Industry Reviews
Armand Sonnier and Aida Gaudet have loved each other all their lives the problem is they just don't believe it! But one person knows what is meant to be; and when Orva Landry, the local wisewoman and "treater," lends a hand, things have a way of coming out right. Sympathetic and somewhat unconventional protagonists, a cast of remarkable secondary characters, and an abundance of Cajun lore and ambiance make this a charming romance. Fans of the novels of Jill Marie Landis or early LaVyrle Spencer may also enjoy Morsi's books. She won a Rita this year for Something Shady (Berkley, 1995) and lives in Texas.
Ives
Morsi continues her heartland romances about insular societies the rules they follow and the rules they get around. In 19th century Louisiana, five Acadians and a German search for love: Armand Sonnier fears he's not cute enough for Aida Gaudet, the prettiest girl on the Vermilion River; Laron Boudreau is pledged to Aida but in love with Helga Shotz, almost 10 years his senior and still married; and Jean Baptiste Sonnier and his wife F?licit? are young and saddled with three children and a fourth on the way. As usual, Morsi's hero doesn't conform to the romantic ideal. In Simple Jess he was simpleminded; in The Love Charm, Armand is shorter than the heroine when they finally dance she can see the part in his hair and he's a virgin. In Morsi's finely drawn, anthropologically correct landscape, virtue enhances pleasure on the moral road of "Love. Sexual union. Procreation. Eternity." (Nov.)
