What if inspiration
came to visit … and wouldn’t leave?
When it comes to movie
reviews, critic Violet Epps is a powerhouse voice. But that’s only because
she’s learned to channel her literary hero, Dorothy Parker, the most celebrated
and scathing wit of the 20th century.
If only Violet could
summon that kind of courage in her personal life.
Determined to defeat
her social anxiety, Violet visits the Algonquin Hotel to pull strength from the
hallowed dining room, where Dorothy Parker and so many other famous writers of
the 1920s traded barbs. But she gets more than she bargained for when Dorothy
Parker’s feisty spirit rematerializes from an ancient guestbook and hitches a
ride onto her life.
Violet is shocked and
thrilled to be face-to-face with her idol, but when the gin-swilling writer
takes up residence in her home and grows pricklier and more outspoken by the
day, the timid movie critic is pushed to her limit. With her job threatened,
her new relationship in tatters, and the custody fight for her orphaned niece
in jeopardy, Violet is forced to face her fears …and she makes sure Mrs. Parker
does the same.
Wickedly funny and
surprisingly poignant, Farewell, Dorothy Parker perfectly
re-imagines one of America’s most iconic voices in a captivating and
unforgettable tale.
