“Perseverance is what I tell my students. It's important that you keep your dream alive, because you're going to encounter a lot of obstacles, and no one is going to dream big for you. You have to have the fortitude and the resilience to stick with your own dreams. That can be hard.”

    EVE'S BAYOU

    KASI LEMMONS United States, 1997

    A Southern Gothic tale set in a momentous summer, Kasi Lemmons award-winning debut is a magnetic pull into the world of childhood and a darkly magical reckoning with the shadow that tragedy casts over memory. Within its tenderness lays a breadth of wisdom on the ties that bind a family. Essential.
