Summary: Tale of a woman fighting for family, nation, and redemption.
Comment: In the interest of full disclosure, the author is my mother. But my five stars aside, I feel that her latest book deserves a review, so that amazon.com customers might get an idea of what "Festival" is about.

My mother writes about her home, Belize (formerly British Honduras), a land of many cultures and ethnicities, and the only English-speaking nation on the mainland of Central America.

"Festival" is her latest novel. It tells the story of a woman tried and convicted for the murder of her husband. It's written in first-person , with a touch of magical-realism, and flashback sequences that make the book hard to put down.

Luz Marina is trying to put her life back together after her release from jail. This involves clashing with her dead husband's family over custody of her children, and a land deal the family is attempting to make that would be disastrous for the nation.

Zee Edgell writes the story of Belize, the story of women, the story of people.
