| In The Opium Lady, JoAnne Soper-Cook leads her readers as willing captives into the far corners of human yearning. Inspired by a box of old snapshots, a teller of tales freezes a defining moment in the life of the person in the photograph. This speaker discerns the hearts of everyone â men, women, and children, rich and poor, the scandalizers and the scandalized, housewives and farmers, tradesmen, charlatans, and ne'er-do-wells. Some live in the shabby Maryland town of Hagersfield, and some live in Guernsey, a Newfoundland outport. Gradually, in revealing the secrets of others, the storyteller reveals herself. |
