The Hanged Man

by Francesca Lia Block

The Hanged Man Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

After the death of her father, Laurel is haunted by a legacy of family secrets, hidden shame, and shattered glass. Immersing herself in the heady rhythms of a city that is like something wild, caged, and pacing, Laurel tries to lose herself. But when she runs away from the past, she discovers a passion so powerful, it brings her roundabout and face-to-face with the demons she wants to avoid.

In a stunning departure from her enormously popular Weetzie Bat books, Francesca Lia Block weaves a darkly exhilarating tale of shattered passions and family secrets.

Synopsis:

Laurel is haunted by family legacy and dark secrets after the death of her father. But she must face her biggest fears in a passionate power struggle for inner peace.
