" Lavina is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Mary Marcus gives distinctive voice to three engaging characters, bringing our compassion and sympathy to each of them as she deftly unravels their complex story of heartache, courage, and love." – Diane Chamberlain, international bestselling author of Necessary Lies " Lavina is a richly nuanced journey to Louisiana during the civil rights era and contemporary times that encompasses the liberating but pain-filled emergence of R&B and rock and roll. Mary Marcus has a mystical insight into the agony and ecstasy of the creative process and the lives of performers. She also unflinchingly brings alive the insane disparity of lives of rich and poor, and black and white, and sees both the pain, the cruelty and also the love and richness of the South." – Danny Goldberg, author of Bumping into Geniuses Lavina is a taut simmering and thoroughly southern work of art. Prepare to lose yourself in this thrilling novel, beautifully crafted by the awesomely talented Ms. Marcus." – Robert Tate Miller, author of Forever Christmas "Mary Marcus' Lavina is a sprawling, passionate Southern Gothic nightmare which beautifully depicts the transformative power of musical creation. Billy Ray jumps from the page as a living, breathing embodiment of Louisiana's Black roots music." – Blake Leyh, Emmy Award-winning music supervisor of The Wire and Treme The author certainly poured her heart and soul into this novel. I was drawn into the different narrative voices, but one of the most effective aspects of the book was the use of the vernacular – you can hear the characters speaking – just excellent!" – And the Story Unfolds Loved, loved everything about LAVINA by Mary Marcus – beautifully crafted, from the stunning front cover, the well-developed characters, setting, plot, and remarkable storytelling." – Must Read Books For anyone looking for a masterly written and beautiful packaged novel, I recommend LAVINA by Mary Marcus. It's a phenomenal read!" – Ninovelty One of the most beautifully written books I've read." – Meanderings and Musings, "Thoughtful fiction that once again exposes the dark enigma of America's racist past and present." - Kirkus "Marcus' well-crafted, highly accessible novel can readily be compared to The Help, by Kathryn Stockett(2009), for its recognition of the lot of black domestic servants. However, there is one major difference, and that is the way Marcus writes about the creative impulse. Billy Ray's descriptions of his music making are both wondrous and joyful." -- Booklist " Lavina is one of the best books I've read in a long time.

Her work reminds somehow of Joan Didion, Mary Karr and James Elroy. Don't ask me how." - Claudia Dreifus, author/journalist "Mary Marcus' Lavina is a sprawling, passionate Southern Gothic nightmare which beautifully depicts the transformative power of musical creation.

It's quite an amazing novel, simple as that." - The Coffee Pot, " Lavina is one of the best books I've read in a long time.

Forthright in chronicling harrowing conditions of the era and Southern setting while not succumbing to stereotypes, she reveals the complexities of humanity and demonstrates a keen ear for the music of language in the individual voices of her characters.
