Iris Temple is the Grand Dame of Savannah, Georgia and treats everyone accordingly. Her power lies in family secrets, her own as well as those of her son Edward, her daughter Rose, her half-sister Queenie, her maid Violet and the local butcher Spud. Readers get to know her through the narration of Queenie, including Iris’s eccentric gastronomical preferences for exotic meats like rattlesnake sautéed in garlic and onions. Queenie describes her “secret†food preference of Kentucky Fried Chicken with belly-laughing commentary. Anyone who manages to offend Iris usually suffers negative results as Iris writes superiors no matter how high up they are from the local editor of the newspaper all the way to the President and the Pope. Queenie manages to laugh at it all.For Queenie, her mother Sally and Violet all practice the voodoo art of Gullah, creating mostly protective spells for those they love, although some suspect an occasional curse has also been set elsewhere. They are African-Americans who know how to love and enjoy life, sharing humor, laughter, and son in the middle of the direst times. Now we come to the initial moment of great conflict, the dying process of Iris who has a stroke after the first “secret†from the Book of Secrets is revealed in the local newspaper. As these are supposed to be locked up in a bank vault, everyone who knew Iris Temple is petrified about whether his or her secret will next be revealed. Soon protestors are leaving obnoxious posters and other items outside the Temple residence, a useless gesture as the daily shocking announcements continue.Iris is dying and the ghosts of the house are busy, busy, busy! Ivy will not go easy and the scene describing her eventual passing is absolutely amazing! So too is the reading of the will and the choices of the beneficiaries are wild, to say the least!Sally and Queenie save these characters from becoming scarred, bitter people. The scenes of their conversations and the ensuing healing are so real and heart-warming, never to be forgotten by any and all readers. Descriptions of luscious Southern meals are scattered throughout the novel as well!There is so much more within these pages that this reader didn’t want the novel to end but to continue forever. Temple Secrets has been compared to other popular novels, but this particular novel is so uniquely wonderful and is highly recommended! Magnificent novel!
As a Southern woman, I am always drawn to books about the Southern way of life and its many complexities. Susan Gabriel has written a book that lets the reader into a world filled with taboos, traditions that are not something that is to be bragged about, into the lives of those held hostage to these secrets. I loved this book....reading it until the very end. I found myself thinking of growing up in Texas through the years, 64 years to be exact, and how many changes have taken place that have been a blessing. I grew up living with Civil War history, with the emancipation that came through Martin Luther King's endeavors, with how society still deals with archaic traditions on how people must act and live. In this book, Temple Secrets, I was reminded of those days. Of things that are still being dealt with within our society. And I applaud Ms. Gabriel, for the ability to write a book that makes the reader think, feel and leave the end of the story....wanting more....and with things that the reader can still ponder upon. Kudos to the author for a fabulous read. I heartily recommend this book!!! Please give readers more of the South.
I'm going to try to come near stringing the adequate words together that describe how much I loved this book. I'll cut to the chase and say it was so good, I didn't want it to end. Temple Secrets is the kind of well crafted book that, once closed, causes you to wonder what to do next with your life. Author Susan Gabriel created a story chock-full of Southern characters and never once condescended to anything campy, rather, she infused every character with soul as they walked the wire of a story so unique as to be plausible, of character nuance so defined, you understood the underlying motivation behind every thought and deed in this electrifyingly unusual gem of common history experienced individually by players so intertwined, their lives are domino effects wrought from the hands of each other. And oh, the tone of this book: it is bluntly in your face without being offensive. Susan Gabriel writes in a direct, brass tacks voice that is howlingly funny, for all its taboo subjects, and I relished every line. The premise of Temple Secrets is this: In blue-blooded, aristocratic Savannah, where the mansions aregothic and imposing as they retain the character of days gone by, supercilious eccentric, Iris Temple, is on her last leg. For decades, she has ruled the roost of everything and everyone around her. She is one of Savannah's inflexible old guard and proud of it to the point that she wields her power position in society like a sword. Hers is a personality so full of controlling disdain that she is feared not only by her family and staff, but by the denizens of Savannah, whose tether she keeps tight by her family's book of secrets, which details intimate, damaging facts best not publically revealed. Iris is estranged from her full-grown daughter, looks down on her mulatto half-sister, who lives with her, and is catered to beyond reason by a handful of staff, who prefer not to stir the waters of Iris' own self-image. It is a dynamic changer, when Iris is incapacitated by a stroke, and suffice it to say the ghosts of her past come out to haunt, literally and figuratively, which wouldn't happen in most places, but it can and does in Savannah. In chapters detailing the individual character's connection to Iris, the story morphs into an incestuous web you didn't see coming. And at the heart of this story is the Temple Book of Secrets; someone has taken it upon themselves to publish part of its content, but the mystery is nobody knows who or why. It's hard to write more at this point, without needing a spoiler alert, and I don't want to deprive the reader of the joy to be found in this bounding story, so I will summarize by saying this novel is so engaging, so thrilling and unique that I stand beside many clamoring for a sequel!Claire Fullerton, Award Winning author of Dancing to an Irish Reel ( Vinspire Publishing.)
