She was a student of James Dickey and teaches at the University of
South Carolina Beaufort. A 2009 inductee in the South Carolina Hall
of Fame, Pat Conroy is the author of five novels and a total of ten
previous books, most recently The Death of Santini. Two of his
novels, The Great Santini and The Prince of Tides, were made into
Oscar-nominated films.
Untying the Moon is a beautifully written first novel, with
settings that feel lived in, a nice eye for detail, and a story
that's simple but evocative. Ellen Malphrus describes herself as a
'southern storyteller, ' and her work is a fine example of that
literary tradition.-- "Foreword Reviews"
[Malphrus] is in full control of her craft, offering the reader a
sound story, told by a voice poetically clear.... A masterful first
novel.-- "Southern Literary Review"
Rare are those works that breathe and exhale a Southern air with a
naturalness neither contrived nor necessarily even conscious.
Lowcountry poet Ellen Malphrus has gifted the reader...[with this
in] her debut novel, Untying the Moon. and its mesmeric, bafflingly
honest, and frustratingly contradictory center, Bailey Martin.--
