Marlette The Bridge , 2001 , a Pulitzer-winning editorial cartoonist, blends the events leading up to the original bombing with the modern-day trial of a Klan leader who may have ordered the attack. Magic Time ultimately succeeds as both a heartfelt novel and a serious one too, under-girded by a keen eye for historical and social detail, driven forward by a sense of justice, and revealing in so many instances a sometimes-surprising optimism and a generous sense of humanity.
The LED bulbs used in these candles emit a soft and flickering light, creating a realistic candle effect. This makes them perfect for special occasions, such as weddings or romantic dinners, as they provide the ambiance of real candles without the risk of fire or the inconvenience of melting wax. The Leejec 20pcs LED taper candles are also battery-powered, offering the convenience of portability.
Magic Time by Doug Marlette
Born and raised in Mississippi, Carter Ransom came to New York as a young man and has risen to become a columnist with a major city newspaper. But when his life in New York falls apart and he heads back home to recover, the still-live conflicts of his youth in the civil rights era rise up all around him again. A twenty-five-year-old murder case has just been reopened, a church bombing that killed Carter's first love. Carter's father was the judge in the case, and now there's evidence that the trial was flawed, even fixed, and the case's reopening threatens the foundation of Carter's identity, as well as his relationship to his family.
Moving between New York City and the New South of the early 1990s, with flashbacks to Mississippi's Freedom Summer of 1964, Magic Time is at once a powerful love story, a courtroom drama, and a complex portrait of the civil rights revolution.

“Marlette skillfully twines the raucous immediacy of things present with the misty remembrance of things past to demonstrate afresh how these two universal abstractions play off each other and ultimately lead us to meaning.” —The News & Observer

He bridges the modern South to one of its bleakest, most violent periods and does so with a story that you can't put down. I love the way Marlette brings my South to life with all its glory and warts. With this book, with the dilemma that modern-day Southerners find themselves in because of their ancestors' actions, we see once again what Faulkner meant about how the past isn't dead, or even past.” —Rick Bragg, author of All Over But the Shoutin' and Ava's Man

He makes his characters answer for who they are and where they come from, but he loves them--all of them. We can't ask for more from a novelist or a novel.” —Mark Childress, author of Crazy in Alabama and One Mississippi
“Doug Marlette unravels a powerful plot that straddles every genre, from historical fiction to love story.” —Daily News (New York)

Reviews for "Add a touch of whimsy to your decor with Leejec 20pcs LED taper candles and their remote-controlled magic wand"
1. John - ★☆☆☆☆
I was really disappointed with the Leejec 20pcs led taper candles with magic wand remote. First of all, the quality of the candles was very poor. They felt cheaply made and flimsy. The LED lights inside did not produce a realistic flickering effect at all. Instead, they looked like a steady, artificial glow. The remote control was also very finicky and difficult to use. Overall, I was not satisfied with this product and would not recommend it to others.
2. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
I had higher expectations for the Leejec 20pcs led taper candles with magic wand remote, but unfortunately, they fell short. While the candles looked nice from afar and had a decently realistic shape, the LED lights were not up to par. The flickering effect was very inconsistent, with some candles not flickering at all while others flickered irregularly. Additionally, the remote control was not user-friendly and took a lot of trial and error to figure out. Considering the price of these candles, I expected better quality and performance.
3. Michael - ★★☆☆☆
I purchased the Leejec 20pcs led taper candles with magic wand remote for a special occasion, and I was quite disappointed with them. The candles did not have a natural-looking flickering effect and instead had a very unnatural, almost robotic flicker pattern. The remote control was also a hassle to work with. It took multiple tries to get the candles to respond to the remote commands, and even then, it was not consistent. I expected more from these candles, especially given the price point. Overall, I regretted my purchase and would not recommend them.
