This novel has been described as lyrical, poignant, beautiful, compelling, eloquent. It certainly is all that..it is also breathtaking. It pulls you into the Appalachian South and the life of those portrayed within. I live near these mountains so it was great pleasure for me to imagine this happening. Written so beautifully it is almost painfull to read. It's a story you won't want to let go of in your mind and your heart. I'll carry this for the rest of my life. Once you read this story you won't be able to forget it. I actually had to remove one book from my 10 most favorite on my profile page to add this one and that wasn't easy.
