This was a singularly amazing book, unexpected at the time but now I can't get it out of my head as I go about my day. It seemed to by the end, as though this was a story that had always existed somewhere, painfully dwelling in the shadows of southern history, waiting for someone to bring it out and tell it to the world. Every detail, every word was necessary-- nothing pretentious or extraneous. There was a vaguely Shakespearean element to the way the story all came together, the lust, anger, betrayal-- such raw and ugly emotions and yet, such a compelling and beautiful story. This book is not to be missed, but it is a challenge to keep your eyes on the page and call to us all, I believe, to continue to embody the good we believe is out there.
