Georgette Leblanc, Madame Maurice Maeterlinck (1875-1941) was a French soprano and author. She was the sister of Maurice Leblanc. She first debuted at the Opera- Comique in Paris, in 1893 in LaAttaque du Moulin. She was associated for a time with Greco-Armenian mystic G. I. Gurdjieff. She was the friend and possibly the lover of fellow Gurdjieff student, Margaret Anderson. She was also a friend of Jean Cocteau. Originally slated to perform as Melisande in Maurice Maeterlinck and Claude Debussyas Symbolist opera Pelleas et Melisande, she was replaced by Mary Garden. This angered Maeterlinck, who was also her lover. Leblanc authored several works, including two volumes of autobiography, as well as childrenas books and travelogues. Her works include: The Choice of Life (1904) and The Childrenas Blue Bird (1913).
A "heartbreakingly resonant" thriller about the explosive intersection of love, race, and justice from a writer and producer of the Emmy-winning Fox TV show Empire (USA Today). "In Bluebird, Bluebird Attica Locke had both mastered the thriller and exceeded it."-Ann Patchett When it comes to law and order, East Texas plays by its own rules -- a fact that Darren Mathews, a black Texas Ranger, knows all too well. Deeply ambivalent about growing up black in the lone star state, he was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could. Until duty called him home. When his allegiance to his roots puts his job in jeopardy, he travels up Highway 59 to the small town of Lark, where two murders -- a black lawyer from Chicago and a local white woman -- have stirred up a hornet's nest of resentment. Darren must solve the crimes -- and save himself in the process -- before Lark's long-simmering racial fault lines erupt. From a writer and producer of the Emmy winning Fox TV show Empire, Bluebird, Bluebird is a rural noir suffused with the unique music, color, and nuance of East Texas.
