The Empress of Cooke County

Thank you Harper Muse Books and for this gifted copy.

Yesterday I started listening to the audio for 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 and was immediately drawn into all the family drama. I was so drawn into the story during my commute that dove right into my physical copy as soon as I got home!

I found myself really enjoying following Callie Jane‘s story as she begins to open her eyes to the world around her and starts looking towards her own future, while finding her voice and what she wants for herself. As for Posey’s character (Callie’s mom)…man this woman gets my hackles up!

I also could not get enough of the wild drama Posey created in her own life and wondering where her next train wreck would take the story.

I still can’t believe this is Elizabeth Bass Parman debut book and I’m already excited to see what she writes next. Y’all definitely have got to dive into this gin fueled story full of atmosphere, drama and humor!

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: Set in a gossipy small town during the turbulent 1960s and full of Southern charm and unforgettable characters, The Empress of Cooke County is a novel about found family, what it means to be loved, and how being true to yourself can have life-altering consequences.
