Bells for Eli in NextTribe
Check out the fabulous review of "Bells for Eli" in NextTribe.
teaser from the review by Jeannie Ralston:
Bells for Eli, delivers a haunting coming-of-age narrative, a destroyed Southern childhood, forbidden love, and a tragic twist. Think of a Tennessee Williams story that takes place in the ’60s and ’70s.
