The New Orleans Times-Picayune features hometown author Laura Joh Rowland today: "Laura Joh Rowland has rescued our heroine, giving her a generous measure of excitement combined with more than a dash of romance in The Secret Adventures of Charlotte Bronte. You'll want to go adventuring right along with her. . . Rowland is a proven creator of finely drawn societies that are exotic to our modern eyes, with a dozen books in her popular Sano Ichiro samurai detective series set in 17th century Japan. Her portrayal of the daily details in 1840s England is equally sure. And there's a lot of action in this book, too. And after you finish this engaging read, you're likely to wander through your life preoccupied by when you can return to Charlotte's world."Meet Laura Joh Rowland at Octavia Books, 513 Octavia Street, in New Orleans on Friday, March 14, at 6:00pm.
