Review:
'An exceptional novel told in clear, direct and starkly beautiful language. Virginia Reeves has a gift for bringing to life all the tensions that emerge whereever people, place and progress collide. I absolutely loved it' --Keven Powers, author of The Yellow Birds
'The world of this exquisite novel - 1920s Alabama - hasn't let go of me since I finished it. It's gorgeous, painful, original, and so true in all its details. Reeves writes with incredibly intelligent compassion, and in Roscoe Martin has created an extraordinary man who more than earns his place among the complicated population of the literary South. Thick with dread and beauty, this is a stunning chronicle of a time, a place and a mind' --Fiona McFarlane, author of The Night Guest
